The Contest has been held so we regret
that we are unable to accept more

However if you are interested in sending us other music to
play please do not hesitate to make contact!
This Contest is one of the ways that Surrey Brass aims to
collaborate with and promote the Arts in Surrey.
This page aims to help you interact with the Composers, their Music, and
the NINE entries to the Fanfare Contest. You'll find buttons that link to the Composer's email, Biography,
Music and other places. The Winning
Fanfare by John Hughes plays as this page loads. Press a button to listen to (MIDI synthesised) entries - sorry we have to
use MIDI to conserve webspace.

If you want to read the scores, you will need
to 
from Sibelius.com. Scorch is the free
software which lets you view, play, customize and print Sibelius scores on the
Internet. It is a free web browser plug-in that lets you play, transpose, change
instruments, save and print your Sibelius scores on the Internet.

Scorch
NOTE Scorch is fully compatible with all current versions of
Netscape Navigator and Opera on both Windows and Mac. It is also compatible with
Internet Explorer on Mac. However, on Windows, Scorch will only work with
Internet Explorer on versions up to and including IE 5.5 Service Pack 1.
In
August 2001, Microsoft released an update to IE5.5 SP2, and a new version,
Internet Explorer 6.0, disabling support for Netscape-style plug-ins in both
versions.
More details on Microsoft's decision can be
found here.
An Active X version of Scorch, which will restore
compatibility with new versions of Internet Explorer, will be released in the
near future.
Support for Netscape-style plug-ins can be re-enabled by
editing the registry. A .reg file to edit the registry can be found here
- save the file to disk and run it, then re-load Internet Explorer. Scorch files
should then be visible.
