EXMOUTH CONTEST 2011 RESULTS

The 12^th Exmouth Brass Band Festival, promoted by the South West Brass Band Association, was held on 
Saturday 3^rd September at the Exmouth Pavilion, with a capacity audience enjoying a feast of music 
presented by 13 bands from Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. Adjudicating the Entertainment Contest, 
Melvin White congratulated all the bands and their musical directors for the high standard of playing, 
together with, in the main, well thought out programmes of music.
 

Considering the most inclement weather experienced in the run up to the Festival, the weather behaved 
itself with a mixture of sun and cloud for the full programme of fringe Concerts to go ahead in the 
Pavilion Gardens where the 13 bands played to an appreciative audience. Overall, the exemplary high quality 
of playing, deportment, presentation and friendly bonding of the bands with their public is a credit to the 
brass band movement.

The awards were presented by Councillor Sandra Sutton, the Mayor of Exmouth, and Bruce Taylor of 
Miller Countrywide South West.
