There are three
leagues in the Midlands region, they are: Midshire United,
Forest League and the All Midlands League. The Region
covers a vast area as far as Nottingham, Derbyshire, Wolverhampton,
Walsall, Birmingham and Liverpool.
The Region competes on 3 Divisions, Junior, Senior, Premier, which
means any band old or new, plus any members who are setting up or
wishing to re-jion the Movement has the opportunity to have which
ever division is right for them.
During the year we have meetings between the leagues to discuss any
rules and regulations to help us to keep in line with the rest of
the jazz band movement.
During the season the All Midlands league host the "Nationwide"
and Midshire United host the "European", which is
always held at the West Midlands Safari Park.

Both events have proved to be very successful so much that the
European this year has been made into a two day event.
The three leagues get together at the jamboree and host "It's
a knockout competition", which is also a success.
Over the years we have had bands within our Region who have found
themselves winning some of the main competitions, even the World
Championships. So who knows which bands during the next season could
be in line to take these titles.
