The contest was divided into two stages - the full field was split into four 'platforms' (i.e. qualifying pools), each of which performed both the set work and a selection of their own choice. Twelve bands were selected to advance to the second stage; these were Dodsworth’s of Bradford, Black Dyke, South Notts, Nottingham Saxe Tuba, Dewsbury, Keighley, Deighton, Southampton, Sutton in Ashfield, Chesterfield, Newark and Blandford.
