Given the collaborative hosting by Bathgate Together and the East of Scotland Brass Band Association, there is a strong emphasis on community involvement in the planning and execution of the event. The goal is to engage the Bathgate Together community organisations, encouraging their active participation by providing both human resources and physical assets on the day. This may include contributions such as public address systems, gazebos, tables and chairs, music stands, and other logistical support.
The collaboration with Bathgate Together extends beyond the organisational realm to foster a sense of community ownership and active participation in the success of the contest. By involving local community members, the event aims to create a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience for participants and attendees.
Additionally, there is a consideration for local businesses to play a role in supporting the event. This may involve collaboration in the provision of services, such as accommodation for participants and logistical elements to further enrich the community engagement and overall success of the contest.
This community-focused approach reflects a commitment to inclusivity, collaboration, and the creation of a memorable event that is deeply rooted in the spirit of the local community.
