Delegates Vary Conditions for 'D' Grade Brass at
the 2008 State Championships
The Delegates of the Victorian Bands League have varied the conditions for entries to 'D' Grade Brass at the Victorian State Championships to be held in Ballarat on 23rd-24th August 2008.
This has been done on two grounds:-
Bands have experienced long delays in receiving the sheet music from suppliers.
On receiving the music, a number of bands have found it to be so difficult they would choose not to attend. The Delegates' Meeting was advised that the music was set as a 'B' Grade test piece just a few years ago.
After consideration, the Delegates have decided that:-
The test piece for D Grade at the State Championships in Ballarat become an Own Choice Major Work for the 2008 Competition only; and
That all D Grade Bands be advised of this decision, and that the deadline for Ballarat Entries be extended for 'D' Grade only by two weeks till July 25th.
