Yamaha are once again sponsoring the Brass Band Conductors’ Association’s (BBCA) conducting competition. The BBCA is delighted to have them on board for this their annual flagship event which takes place on Saturday 15th June at Eccles Town Hall.
BBCA Chair, James Holt, commented: "Yahama have shown their commitment to the conducting competition over many years and the BBCA is very grateful for this. The day promises to be an exciting one with a high-class field of entrants taking part from around the globe. Good luck to all those involved!"

The ten semi-finalists will rehearse the fantastic Hammonds Band on either Resurgam by Eric Ball, or Rhythm of Light by Liz Lane under the watchful eye of adjudicators Sarah Groarke-Booth and Morgan Griffiths to earn a place in the final.
