 For the last few years, the Cambridge Masters and Whit Friday contests have 
 taken place in the same weekend.  The relatively huge prizes at Cambridge 
 have therefore attracted the BIG bands away from the Whit Friday events.  

 This year Cambridge has come early (or is Whit late??) so that the top bands 
 were able to compete at both contests.  What a difference it makes to listen 
 to a really good band playing the same marches that we all think that we can 
 play.  It really put the excitement back into Whit Friday this year even 
 though it means fewer chances for us lesser bands to win the top prizes.
