About
Celebrate the association between brass bands and coal mining at Bold as Brass! This annual marching band and entertainment contest, in partnership with Brass Bands England, highlights the best in modern banding.
Each band, drawn from the best bands across the North of England, will perform a 6 minute march across the National Coal Mining Museum site and a 20-minute set at Hope Pit. The judges will assess them on the quality of their music and uniquely on how entertaining they are:
- brass bands performing live
- Competitions include: ‘Most Entertaining Band’, ‘Best Solo’, ‘Best Musical Performance’, ‘Most Entertaining’ and ‘People’s Choice’
Settle in for a whole day of performances, discover new bands and enjoy the emotion, talent, and passion that define the brass band tradition. Remember to grab your camping chairs and picnic blankets if you wish to be seated.
