 The United Kingdom Leading Bands Forum (UKLBF) has offered its support to Kapitol Promotions, organisers of the National Championships of Great Britain on the announcement of its panel of adjudicators for the forthcoming Finals in Cheltenham and London.

In a press release they stated that they would “like to publicly share its appreciation to Kapitol Promotions on its recent advance announcement of the accomplished adjudicator selections for the upcoming National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain.”

Collective desires

They added: “With a range of nationalities and ages, the combined panels demonstrate a wealth of experience which aligns with both the constitution of the AoBBA and the collective desires of the UKLBF member bands.

The UKLBF will always advocate for parity in relation to gender and diversity and following the recent combined announcement from Kapitol Promotions and the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators (AoBBA) about the forthcoming ‘Adjudicators’ Experience Day’ in September, it is a hope that even more adjudicators will start on the judging pathway and consequently more equality and diversity will become evident over future years.”
