* July 2024:
Wow- how amazing was that then?! Videos & photos of Bandamonium3 to follow but we are sure you will agree everyone put in a fantastic effort to make it the Best Bandamonium yet!
Special mention to Lympstone Band who won Best Band for the second time in a row and Okehampton Excelsior Band who won The Peoples' choice award.
But its not a competition and...in the words of Mr W our founder- you were all his favourites!​
