Wellington (Telford) Brass Band is pleased to announce that we will be taking part in this year’s ConsTest, which will take place on 15th April 2026.
ConsTest is a friendly and innovative online brass band contest that brings bands together from across the UK and beyond. Instead of performing live on stage, bands record their test piece performance which is then adjudicated by a panel of respected judges. It’s a great opportunity for bands to challenge themselves, receive valuable feedback, and showcase their musical progress.
For this year’s contest, the band will be performing the revised version of Variations on Laudate Dominum, a powerful and expressive work that offers plenty of musical and technical challenges. The piece explores a range of moods and textures, allowing the band to demonstrate both musicality and precision.
Taking part in ConsTest forms an important part of the band’s preparation and development during the year, providing another chance for the band to perform together and continue building momentum following our recent promotion to the Second Section.
We’re looking forward to putting the finishing touches on the piece over the coming weeks and sharing our performance as part of the contest.
If you’d like to follow the band’s progress, support us, or find out more about upcoming performances and events, keep an eye on the Wellington (Telford) Brass Band website and social media channels for updates.
Date: 15 April 2026
Piece: Variations on Laudate Dominum (Revised Version)
Stay tuned as we prepare to put our performance to the test! 🎺
