Information on Bands and times of Bands completing
The Third Section will commence at 13:00, and we are being broadcast 10th of 11 bands. The advice from the organisers is that each band will be broadcast at around 15 minute intervals. (10 minutes playing, preceded by an introduction, and followed by some first impressions from the judges. In addition, there are some adverts you have to wait through every few bands.) So, in reality, we won’t be broadcast until around 16:30. But it could easily be earlier or later than this. Our Judges are Siôn Rhys-Jones, Steve Jones & Helen Williams. There is a Results Ceremony for all Sections on SUNDAY 28th March at around 20:45.
