Newtown Contest to Return

The Newtown (Mid Wales) March & Open Air Contest is set to return on Sunday, 12th June in Newtown Hall Park in Wales. The format of the event remains the same with a march along the town's High Street into the local park with a prize for deportment. Bands will then play an own choice quick march, a hymn tune from the red 120 Hymn Book and one other entertainment piece. 

The competition will be for bands graded in the Championship, First, Second, Third and Fourth Sections nationally, non-registered bands and youth and training bands. There is generous prize money available, together with other awards and the popular 'massed bands' march item will also return.

Final date for entries is 1st May. Full details and entry forms are available to download online at www.newtownsilverband.co.uk or by telephoning David Evans on 07702 173928
