The World Music Contest 2009 - Kerkrade, Netherlands

The WMC are effectively the “Olympics” of bands and attract ten of thousands of musicians from around the globe every four years.  Kerkrade holds the focus of the world of brass and wind bands for 5 weeks as the worlds top musicians go head to head.   To qualify for the WMC you must either have held a National title in your home country in the past 18 months or have been awarded a Gold in the previous Championships. Fortunately, in 2005 the band was awarded a Gold and a Silver medal in the two contests it took part in – this allowed us entry.
