The inaugural Aldbourne March Contest will be held on Saturday August 4th 2018 at the Green in Aldbourne!
This forms part of the “Aldbourne Music and Song Festival” during the Villages’ community music week.
Adult and Youth Bands of all levels and experience from around the surrounding counties will be invited to take part in the villages’ community music week, which will feature a wide range of musical performances and workshops culminating in the Aldbourne Band leading the annual “Prom on the Green” concert.
The event will see the bands take a short 3 minute march from the Square, around the picturesque village Green, stopping at the historic Blue Boar, where each band has the opportunity to entertain the assembled spectators and impress our March adjudicator and our panel of entertainment judges with a “Contest March” and “Entertainment Item” of each band’s choosing.
Prizes will be awarded for the Best Deportment and Marching, Best Contest March and the Best Entertainment Item.
For further information and to register your band’s interest to join what will be a great musical event, a great day meet banding friends, and a family day out in one of Wiltshire’s most quintessential traditional village settings please contact Jane Lewis (janelewi13@hotmail.co.uk)
