This newsletter may well arrive fast on the heels of your latest Bridge, but it will hopefully pass on some information that will be useful to you. First, let s review some of the approaching deadlines for contest and membership materials. Most bands asked for a single address and a single deadline and the board complied with those wishes. The fees and dues structure has drastically changed.
Every performer receives a free contest souvenir program.
While scores were made available several months ago, delays at the publishers caused the parts to be late in coming out. As of the writing of this newsletter, published sets have been express shipped to Bert Wiley. Hopefully, by the time you read this, Championship Section bands will be busy working on the parts. This piece will be a significant addition to the brass band repertoire. The competitions will take place Friday and Saturday April 20 th and 21 st at two separate sites on the grounds of Fort Myer, Virginia.
