Contesting

On this page you can find out information about upcoming contests and also the latest contest results as well as our ever growing archive of results.

 

MDBA competitions are run by the MDBA. We can offer Band contests with 3 or more Bands, each performing for 15 minute displays. All necessary materials, judges, etc. will be provided by ourselves, with the whole event being run by our Officials. All you need to do is to provide a suitably sized roped-off arena and leave the rest to us. Cost? Of course there will be a fee involved to cover transport costs, our Bands would not be able to survive otherwise, but we pride ourselves in keeping very competitive and top value for money. Interested? Then why not see our contacts page for more information.

Each band is judged on four disciplines Music, Marching, Entertainment and Dress.
