ConsTest 2025 is an open own choice brass band competition taking place at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, on Saturday 12th April 2025. Boasting a modern take on brass banding, bands will perform in the brilliant Bradshaw Hall, competing for numerous prizes, including Denis Wick, Geneva and Alliance products, and the chance to work with virtuosos. ConsTest 2025 follows on from two years of successful events and invites a quality pairing of Alan Morrison & Ryan Watkins to return as adjudicators. Looking towards the future, the event continues to work with an appropriate registration system facing the player crisis head on and a desire to provide a day of endless musical indulgence for all involved - just one example of the modernistic takes on banding that ConsTest has. Entry for bands will open at midnight on Friday 8th November and will allow 3 bands per section to enter. Once a section is full, bands will be placed on a first-come first-serve waiting list, with an entry deadline of January 7th 2025. Further announcements are to come with regards to the evening gala concerts; that in previous years, have rounded off a fantastic day of music making in Birmingham.
