We did an entertainment contest here in April.
It was held in a tent, with 2 Bands from each grade A-D

The lower grade bands were handicapped to allow them to contest against the
A grades.  If I am remembering correctly
D grade were given 27 points
C grade		      20 points		
B grade		      6 or 8 points

Result was that the two D grades placed first and second once the handicaps
were applied with an  A grade third (Again I am not certain about third).
I don't have the results with me at work. I think if this format is used
again they will not be so generous to the D grades. Handicaps were worked
out from the average marks gained at the State Championships in each grade
for the last few years.

We all  played a set hymn for a warmup, then we as a D grade played 
Memory (Eupho solo -  not 'Memory' from Cats)
Jerome Kern for Brass
Aces High

It was only a 15 or 20 minute program inc. the hymn.

I can't remember what any of the other bands selected to play

This is an interesting topic and I hope to see a lot of replies.

Regards,  Gillian
