Brigades’ British ‘Showcase’ Marching Band Championships
Monday 8th August 2016This year’s Brigades’ British ‘Showcase’ Marching Band Championships saw the largest number of bands taking part in recent years. The overall standard from Novice through to Championship level was probably the highest seen for many years. Seventeen bands competed in five different classes for 38 awards and trophies.
The Championships saw a number of newcomers participating for the very first time as well as some regulars competing in both the Traditional and Drum Corps/Showband style categories. It was also encouraging to see several competitors again flying the flag for Scotland.
A professional DVD was recorded at the Championships and details about purchasing a copy along with the full results can be found on the Showcase website: showcasemarchingbands.co.uk
Next year’s event will take place on Saturday 3rd June 2017 at Northwood Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent.
