All England Masters International – Kettering 2013BCB travelled to Kettering to take part in the All England Masters International competition. Against 22 other bands, the test piece was 'A Kensington concerto' written by Eric Ball.
The band's preparation was hampered by a number of events such as illness, work and holidays, which necessitated the use of several deputies at short notice.
The adjudicators placed the band 21st. This was a bit of a blow for the band considering the levels of success we had achieved over the last 2-3 years. However, we move forward and learn from the experience. The band are now looking forward to their forthcoming ventures, and have concerts planned for The Regent Centre, Christchurch on 23 June (also featuring Darren Bartlett – Vocal Soloist) and St. Peter's Church, Bournemouth on 6 July, they will be featuring a variety of popular music which will include the world premieres of 2 new arrangements by members of the band. We look forward to seeing you.
