Toronto Brass win 'Festival of the Bands'
Toronto Brass won the Hunter Regional Championships 'Festival of the Bands' on 13 June 2010, coming first in Division 1.
The band played a wide range of entertaining music, including music from Irish dance spectacular "Riverdance", the "Fanfare of the Bells" and "Moon River". The band featured baritone player Nick Scott in the fiendishly difficult solo "Grand Russian Fantasia", accompanied by the band.
Conductor Tim O'Hearn said he was delighted with the band's performance. "It's great to see the reaction of the audience when the band plays such enjoyable music" he said, "I'm proud of the whole band's playing".
Toronto Brass's next engagement will be the Concert with other ensembles at Halekulani Bowling Club in Budgewoi on 27 June 2010, commencing at 2.30 pm. Come and be entertained by the Hunter's 'Festival of the Bands' champions!
