| [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]I am proposing to run a trip to the Amboise Brassband contest in June 2014, we will stay on a campsite set in the middle of the river under the shadow of Amboise Chateau (Leonardo De Vinci is buried there and the house where he lived is close by).I will need a list of people attending so I can arrange a discount if possible as the event is very popular and camping places are in short supply, I have put a link in with the 2013 information for you to get an Idea of what goes on, the town is stunning and there is plenty to do and see in the area.Ken will place the event in the 2014 list shortly and then we can start the list.Thank you. | |

The campsite is just across the river and there are amazing views of the town and Chateau especially at sunset. | |

| In the runup to the 20th anniversary... We cannot help but think about it : the due date is approaching quickly… The adventure started in 1994 when the Stavanger Brass Band came on tour in France. What a revelation ! They opened our eyes and our ears t o the path to the « French Brass Band FestivalOpen » which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2014. If the first decade had already hold an anniversary and a first positive record, approaching the 20th anniversary make us m easure the increased pac e of the movement throughout the country : the enthusiasm goes increasing, new groups are born in academies of music, amateur musicians want to discover this fabulous Brass world and create brass bands even in the rural parts of the country. These words c ould seem a bit ‘francocentric’ for our readers but they should not be understood this way. Obviously and as the organising committee, we are very happy to see a French Brass Band winning the Championships, as we are delighted to see Juni firs t prize. And we are all the more happier when the Marching Competition, a soors winning a British discipline is also won by a French Brass Band. Let us just recall that at the beginning of the adventure, French Brass Bands refused to enter the Amboise Open. Today, the y do not only wish to enter the contest, but they win ! What is very interesting for us is the foreign vision. All the members of the jury who came to Amboise and all very wellmusical world are unanimous : the musical quality of French Bras known in the s Bands is constantly improving, as well as the spirit of the competitors. The quality improvement and the increase in the number of Brass Bands are finally there and predict good fortune for the end this second decade. Therefore, it will still be necessary to convince again and again : first, our political elected representatives need to understand the benefits of this musical form and must not oppose it to of the French wind sections for example,second, the people in charge of music education ca pratices,n integrate this musical form within the framework of their program with collective then the music conductors of all types of ensembles must be convinced that there is no contradiction in the structure of the that they can all becomplementary, also French Brass Bands sorely need French composers to write pieces for them,And to end this long list, it is necessary to draw the attention of the specialist press to follow the movement and promote ensembles but this type of music group. We still have a long way to go before having the same number of bands than in the UK, in Belgium or in Switzerland. But considering our experience and what could be done, let us be optimistic. We will continue with the work started 19 years ago to be able to during the 20th anniversary that the Brass Bands movement shines on our national territory and that every region, department, say municipality has got one or several bands.
