German Open Championships extends entry Deadline

The German Open Championships will be hosted by The German Brass Band Association in Brilon in North Rhine-Westphalia on the weekend of the 23rd/24th October. It takes place in cooperation with the International Brass Festival 'Sauerland- Herbst' and will be run with support by Yamaha.

Eight bands from the host nation and Belgium have already registered in different sections for the contest, however the registration deadline has now been extended until the 10th of September to give further opportunity for bands to take part. Participating bands will have to perform an own choice programme to the international jury panel of Thomas Clamor (Germany) and Armin Bachmann (Switzerland). The third international judge will be announced in the near future.

The contest ends on the Sunday with a gala concert by Festival Brass Band (BEL) and the prize ceremony. Further information is available at www.dbbv.org Bands can register at info@dbbv.org
