What is the format of this contest?  From these results it would seem 
that there isn't an overall winner.  Is the entertainment adjudicator 
in the open, or is 'entertainment' simply a matter of choosing the right 
pieces at this event?

How long do bands play for?  What are the sections?  Are there set 
elements (a march, a hymn)???

[Sorry about the interrogation: I may be taking a there band next 
year.]

On a different note, it would be great to know what music bands chose 
to play at events such as this, and at own choice contests too.   It 
might be that bands (especially bands in other parts of the world) 
are entertaining their audiences - and winning contests - with 
different repertoire.

Would contributors to the list be prepared to give a little more 
information?

David
