Bands and audiences are asked to treat these times as provisional in case any last-minute clashes become apparent. In the unlikely event that schedule changes are necessary, these will be confirmed the week commencing 23 January.
The venue will be open to bands and audiences from 8:30am, with the first band performing at 9am. Audiences should head to the Sixth Form Centre to purchase any on-the-day tickets and view and chat to this year’s sponsors, Besson and ABRSM, and trade stand exhibitors. Refreshments will be available to purchase throughout the day, or packed lunches can be brought onto site and consumed in designated areas.
Audience tickets are available now at an advance rate of £5 for children, £13 for adults, and free for under 5s. Tickets can be booked from the Youth Champs tickets page at: https://www.bbe.org.uk/civicrm/event/info/373
