Doctor Martin invites 2022 Contest Entries

Entries are now invited for bands wishing to compete at the 2022 Dr Martin Wainstone Cup contest which will take place at the Princess Alexander Auditorium, Yarm School Stockton on Tees on Sunday the 11th September. 

Held the day after the British Open, the event continues to provide an ideal opportunity for Championship Section bands to replenish their financial coffers with generous cash prizes — with the winning bands taking home a first prize of £4,000. In addition to the first prize, £2,000, £1,000 and £500 will be awarded to bands placed 2nd to 4th. There is also an additional £250 for the 'Best March' and for the 'Best Soloist', whilst each band will receive £400 towards their travel expenses.

To further assist bands, up to 4 'borrowed players' will be allowed. The contest will be pre- drawn on Wednesday 17th August. In the event that issues related to Covid-19 intervene, all bands will receive a full refund.
