Overview
This is another of the performing arts sections and one of the musical sections. Entrants can perform as a soloist or as part of a group and receive professional adjudication of their performance. Classes for the woodwind, strings and brass section take place during a Saturday in May.
We encourage as many musicians as possible to take part, and would particularly like to receive more entries from local schools and organisations, as many of our current entrants live outside Warwickshire. We would like to encourage players of any instruments.(basically anything that isn’t a piano).
