To improve the presentation and reduce the time it takes to get all the Massed Bands onto the Finale, all bands will enter at once from the rear of the arena with the Centre Bands playing Scotland The Brave. The “Centre Bands” will make the front ranks and stewards will marshall all other bands in behind the Centre Bands.
This will make a great visual and musical impact for the spectators, it will be very simple to deliver and it will save around an hour at the end of what is always a long day.
This new approach will be trialled at the European Championships at Perth.
