The British Bandsman and GUS are joining forces again to bring

you a workshop which is looking in detail at the

3rd and 4th section test pieces for the area contests.

The workshop will take place at Eynsham Village Hall (OX29 4QW) on Saturday 10th January 2026

Christopher Bond will take the band through Indian Summer (10am to 12:00pm) and Three Haworth Impressions (1pm to 3pm)

This is a great opportunity for conductors and players to get a great insight to their area test pieces from Christopher and to hear one of the countries best Brass Bands playing these pieces and bringing out those hidden gems that will help your area test piece performance.

The British Bandsman are offering each workshop for just £10 per person to cover costs.

To be part of this you will need to register (each person to register please) and either pay £10 using the details provided in the confirmation email that is sent or pay on the day.
