VLOF 2024

The VLAMO Open Fanfare Championship (VLOF for short) will take place on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 March 2024 .

 

 For the first time, the open competition was open to fanfare bands from all departments... and we must have known that. No fewer than 26 fanfare bands registered and will travel to Heist-op-den-Berg that weekend.

​

Due to the high number of registrations, there are  morning, afternoon and evening sessions on both days to give everyone a place on stage. The order of performance was determined in advance and can be viewed here: Schedule
