Gary has just returned from two very busy weeks in New Zealand where he helped the Wooston Brass Band retain their title as Champion Band of New Zealand for the second year running!

 

 

 

After nearly two days travelling Gary finally arrived in Christchurch on Tuesday 29th June a little tired but very excited about being reunited with some old friends and playing with Woolston at the this years Brass Band Championships held in Duneden from the 7th -11th July.

 

It was a busy couple of weeks which saw Gary conduct the Rangiora Band in preperation for their apperance in the D Grade aswell as a lot of teaching and playing.

 

The Band was on fine form all week culminating with a magnificent performance of Peter Grahams "On the Shoulder of Giants" on Saturday the 10th July which clinched the victory.  The Band totally dominated the contest winning 1st Prize in the Large ensemble category, 1st for the Sacred item, 2nd in the test piece, 1st in the Own choice and winning the overall prize of Band of the Year on the Sunday.

 

Congratulations to all my friends at Woolston and hope to see you all soon!
