Broadcasting the Contest
‘ 7 LTHOUGH the NZBS has made direct broadcasts from bahd contests before, they have been confined to the bands’® own choices in the Quickstep and Hymn Test sections. This year, two broadcasts will be made from Christchurch’s Civic Theatre of the Championship Grade Test Selections-be-tween 8.15 and 9.0 p.m. on Tuesday, February 21, and 9.30 and 10.0 p.m. on Thursday, February 23. The bands heard then will have been allotted those times by the official draw. Station 3YA will make recordings of the contest performances of all the bands taking part in the various sections from Championship to C grade. Some of these recordings will be played from 3YA, others will be sent quickly to stations
all over the country. In the case of the main events these recordings will be available for broadcasting during contest week, YA stations will all receive recordings of placed bands in each scction, and also of the winning solos, trios and quartets. The ZB stations will have recordings of the placed bands and soloists, and YZ and X class stations will be sent recordings. of their- own district ~bands and home winners in the solo sections.
