before I go any further I just want to say that I am not an anorak 
who goes to contests, hears all the bands and likes to get all the 
spaces in my programme filled in !  I was up at Prestatyn supporting 
my local band (who were robbed !!!!!!!!!!!! of course) and happened 
across someone who had all the results.

My adjudication ?

Tredegar were (unfortunately for everyone else) a clear league ahead 
of anyone else there.  Compared to the other bands they sounded like 
they had 56 players on stage.  Crewe Co-op played a very good band 
for 3rd.  Surprised at Woodfalls coming 5th - lots of terrible tuning 
and IMHO not very good at all.  Surprised at Sovereign coming 7th - 
totally different, rounder sound, a few individual blunders must have 
cost them more than poor tuning/ensemble did others.  Surprised at 
Cory's -  seemed to want to blow the audience away and after a good 
result at the Nat's were slightly disappointing at 11th.

Adjudicators commented that many bands thought the first movement was 
called Triumph Herald, not Kings Herald and played it too fast.  
Maybe if Tredegar had played the first movement a bit slower they 
would have won by more points ?
