Syllabus of Set Works
The Syllabus of Set Works has now been released for 2025 and can be found further down the page divided into each grade. For grades that have multiple choices, a copy of the score for the selected work should be submitted as part of your upload.
The BANSW would like to thank the NSW Music Selection Committee members for their tireless work in bringing this list together, led by Committee Chair, James Brice OAM.
We hope to see you at the State Band Championships in August.
Gradings and Performance Time Limits
The expected performance level of bands for each grade is listed below. All bands must be graded to compete. If your band plans to enter the championships for the first time and is unsure of which grade to be in, contact our Secretary for assistance.
We have introduced on-stage performance times. There will be no more time limits for individual selections (except for Open A and B Brass). A table of on-stage times with the expected grade levels is below.
All bands are to perform at least one major work within their own-choice portion of the program in addition to selecting a piece from the Syllabus of Set Works (where required) and a sacred item. Bands can schedule in more than one own choice piece should time allow. If a band elects to perform more than one piece in their own-choice portion of the program, the adjudicator will give only one point score out of 100.
Open D Concert, Open D Brass and Youth C Brass can include Concert Items in their own-choice program. A Concert Item is any piece seen as an 'entertainment' item that a band would use in a concert or playout setting.
Please note we have re-aligned the Primary School Grades to reflect the level of playing ability as this has caused some confusion in the past. Please ensure you select the right division before entering.
Primary School Grades: No points will be awarded to each band. All bands will receive a Highly Commendable Award and one band in each Section will be announced the 'Champion Band'. No other aspect of the event has been changed other than what has been listed above.

Conditions of Entry
All Bands entering the contest should make themselves familiar with the Band Association's By-Laws relating to the conduct of contests. The By-Laws are on the Rule and Forms page of our website.
If you have any questions about the By-Laws and condition of entry, please get in touch with either the Contest Administrator or Association Secretary.
Conditions of Entry:
- The total aggregate points awarded for all items in all Grades or Divisions will determine The State Champion.
- A Sacred Item is a hymn, hymn arrangement, or work of a similar nature that encourages peace, reflection, celebration, and meditation. The Management Committee will review nominated sacred items and has the right to accept or refuse any music submitted as a Sacred Item.
- The Management Committee will draw for the playing order before the contest and advise bands upon completion.
- Open A and Open B Brass Grades will play their Set Work and Sacred Item/Hymn first and return to the stage to play their own-choice Selection. All other Brass and Concert Grades will play their items in one sitting.
- All bands must enter their official grade. Should a band choose to enter the grade above their official grade, they must apply to the Association before receiving entries. Different own-choice and sacred item selections are required by a band that chooses to enter two grades, and separate entry fees are payable.
- The NSW State Band Championships uses a standard percussion layout for the main percussion instruments for ALL on-stage band events (refer to percussion/stage seating plan for further details). The positions of large percussion equipment such as timpani, drum kit and tuned percussion must not change. Percussionists can move all other percussion equipment around these more oversized items. The ONLY exceptions will be for large concert bands where stage space is limited or where the score requires a specific percussion layout. These changes MUST be advised to the Contest Coordinator NO LATER THAN 2 WEEKS before the event. Bands should plan their rehearsals with the set percussion layout in mind.
- It is a condition of entry into the contest venue that the Band Association of NSW Inc. and members of the Management Committee, volunteers and any official will not be legally liable for
- Any loss, damage, theft of any instrument or other valuables of any member of the public while attending the Championships.
- Any assault, illness, injury, death or other circumstance arising during travel by someone to, from or while in attendance at the Championships.
- The Management Committee reserves the right to refuse admission to any person to the contest venue facilities. An official may request a person to leave a performance room and or the contest venue if their behaviour is considered inappropriate.
- If improper behaviour, illness, injury or death occurs, the Management Committee reserves the right to call NSW Police and or Ambulance to the venue.
- Any official, volunteer, or other person who witnesses, or becomes aware of, any act of bullying, sexual discrimination, harassment or physical assault will report the occurrence to the Contest Supervisor, who will take appropriate action.
- Children under 16 years of age, who are unaccompanied by a parent or family member, must be accompanied by a person holding an approved WWCC and can provide the details for review upon request.
- If you have any questions concerning the State Band Championships, please contact the Contest Coordinator.

Live-streaming
Upon submission of an entry to the Championships, a band agrees to be in the live-stream. If your youth or school band does not wish to participate in the video live-stream, an 'opt-out' is available to you on the entry form. Audio will continue for all bands regardless of the video opt-out option. All Open community bands will be video and audio live-streamed.
The live streaming of this event has become an integral part of the Championships, and all schools intending to compete should make parents/guardians aware of this. Individual members of school bands/Youth bands are not named during the live-stream.
We welcome Tim Kelly from Brassbanned, who has been live-streaming our events for a number of years now and has built up a large following. Please note that we will not be live-streaming from any other platform. Brassbanned.com is the only official website streaming the Championships and any other site may be a scam. Do not click on any other links other than what we and Brassbanned provide.
Parking
There are several car parks around the JSPCA. Please be aware that should you choose to park in Westfield, this may attract a parking fee depending on how long you stay at the Championships.
There is free parking next to the venue, but this is only for 1 to 2 hours on Saturdays. Other free untimed car parks in the area are Union Road – bounded by Worth St & Station St. Also, check out this Penrith Off-Street Parking Map.
