Awards
The Wessex Band Summer School recognises many ways in which members of the course can contribute. This can range from the most improvement seen during the week, to commitment and dedication over a number of years. There are 12 awards given each year. The awards will be presented to students on Friday this year with the exception of the major awards which will continue to be given at the concert.
