ConsTest 2024
The popular ConsTest own-choice contest will return to Bradshaw Hall at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on Saturday 6th April. Adjudicators Ian Porthouse and Ryan Watkins will have to compare and contrast 13 different contenders with a wide selection of ambitious own choice test pieces. There are a variety of prizes on offer for bands at each level thanks to partnerships created with Geneva, Denis Wick, thecornetshop.com and Alliance.
The West of England Area Champions Flowers will provide the Gala Concert entertainment performing its 'Alice in Wonderland' Brass in Concert programme featuring soloists Emily Evans and Paul Richards. After the results ceremony, The Fluorescent Brassolescents will play Arctic Monkeys' hits, followed by the Ambrassadors playing party anthems to close the night, in the Eastside Jazz Club.
