Perhaps NABBA has a solution to this dilemma.  In
addition to the Championship, Honors (i.e., Section
1), and Challenge (i.e., Section 2) Sections, the
annual contest includes an Open Section for bands that
do not subscribe to strict, traditional BB
instrumentation, and an Exhibition Section which is
non-contesting, has no prizes, but is adjudicated at
the contest.  This affords a beginning band the
opportunity for valuable comments from the judges, and
the performance experience in front of an audience of
discerning brass enthusiasts.
