The Music Board reported to the membership through the October 2022 Board Minute, that the “Static Start” pilot ran at 4 minor competitions and one major championships in 2022.
All bands and adjudicators have been polled and as a result the Music Board has agreed that in the 2023 competition season, Grade 4B bands will return to previous status quo.
The Static Start pilot will be extended for the 2023 competition season for all Novice B Bands at minor/ local competitions (where there is a separate Novice B competition) and all the major championships.
The Music Board are looking to produce a further explainer video demonstrating the Static Start in the future.
