On Saturday, 10h January, 2026, the GUS Band presented another successful regionals workshop in Eynsham, Oxfordshire. Organised by The British Bandsman, the many delegates who attended from across the country including the Midlands, London, Southwest and Northeast Regions were given the opportunity to discuss and hear how the third and fourth section test pieces for 2026 could be rehearsed and performed. Questions were asked from the floor and the many challenges that these two works, Indian Summer by Eric Ball and Three Haworth Impressions by Gordon Langford, presented for the bands in these two sections were analysed with suggestions and examples provided on how bands can tackle them. We hope the attendees went away armed with new ideas and we wish all the third and fourth section bands all the very best in their area competitions this year.
