Commenting on these choices, Philip Morris (Managing Director, Kapitol Promotions) said: “Once again, the Kapitol Promotions Music Panel has picked five fantastic works to test the bands at the National Finals this year. For the Sections 1-4 Finals there’s an exciting mix of relatively unused music in Great Britain, alongside some more classic repertoire. The Championship Section Final will certainly be a memorable occasion in October too, with Peter Graham’s incredible work returning to the RAH 24 years after its first use at the competition. Bands are in for a real treat at all levels this year”.
