The marching bands put the beat back into the Bournemouth throughout four day event  which took place throughout the town!

We had a great response and support from both the local community and visitors to the town. One on-looker Gary Phillips from Poole commented,

'' I'm quite surprised at the quality and professionalism of the bands, as some of them look so young! They must have been practising for years!"

Another on-looker Jess Hardy commented,

" I'm not usually interested in things like this but I actually really enjoyed the performance and it's such a lovely day! Perfect for chilling out in the gardens and watching the entertainment."

Four full packed days in conjunction with Bournemouth bicentennial, celebrating a diverse range of music. The concept is to encourage and unite talented local, regional and international musicians. The type of groups that will be participating will include Brass / Wind / Orchestra and Choir.
