A large field of 21 Bands and Corps made their way to Barnsley in the North of England for the last BYBA show in the first half of the season. It was also the first time that the DCE system was to be used in the UK as a trial for Division 1 and Associate Class.

11th Northampton BB Juniors were the first band on the field as the Junior Class got underway.
