What a fine contest the Grand Shield has been. A select handful of bands have succeeded in unlocking both the musical and technical elements of A Brussels Requiem and Chris Thomas goes for a top four of Desford, Rothwell, NASUWT Riverside and Carlton Main Frickley Colliery.

The Grand Shield is reaching a conclusion in the Opera House with @RothwellTemps and @RainfordBand set to close the contest. There will be real hopes amongst the @RothwellTemps players for an immediate return to the British Open following relegation last September.

A performance of technical merit from @TheGUSBand that opened beautifully but ultimately came over as a touch restrained in its overall musical impact. Fine soloists were very much to the fore.

A performance laden with drama and musical intent from Ever Ready, but one that was not always totally consistent in its execution and rhythmic clarity. Those fine margins are going to count in a Grand Shield that is likely to be a close call come the end if the contest.

We are witnessing a good overall standard in the Grand Shield with @OldhamBandLees giving us a Brussels Requiem of searing drama and intensity from the number 5 draw.

What a fine opening performance from @friarybrassband in the Grand Shield. This had both emotion and energy in equal measure and has set an admirable early marker.
