Hi,
I played Stantonbury Festival in youth band for the areas, it's a lovely
piece of music.

Also, New Buckenham Suite (complete with animal noises - very fun !) 

I would highly reccommend you go in the Youth Section (as opposed to the
4th) its for bands with players Under 19.  Once you get to areas level it is
a great feeling competing in the large venues (the finals were at the Royal
Festival Hall in those days) - Even our School Band got to the finals one
year (the same year i played in the finals with youth band also ... ) so
it's not that hard !! :)

I think the test pieces are set so that solves one problem, maybe you could
contact the ppl who run the finals and ask them for a list of past test
pieces ?  Other than that, I have all my old programs at home in a
s-book I'll dig them out as I competed between 1989 and 1995
(unfortunately the year we won - the programs sold out so i dont have one,
just a photocopy :(

Claire.
