Following the excitement of the Training Band awards last Saturday, it was time for the inaugural Town Band awards to be given out!
Presented by Musical Director, Thomas Dunne, the well deserving winners were: Player of the Year: Samantha Ford (Horn) Section of the Year: The Bass Section Most Improved Player: Idris (Euphonium) Player’s Player Award: Idris (Euphonium) Speaking about his aspirations for the year, Thomas said: “Looking ahead to 2023, we want to build on the progress we made in 2022. This year we’re aiming for a top-three placing at the West of England Regional contest, with an eye on qualifying for the National Championships. We will continue to develop our summer concert series and deliver a diverse and challenging set of new repertoire. Following the success of our 130th anniversary concert in 2022, we hope to be able to feature both the Town and Training bands together in concert again, and later in the year to go one place further at the Wychavon Festival of Brass. Most importantly though, our main goal is to continue to enjoy making music together as we continue to develop into 2023 and beyond. I for one am eagerly looking forward to the future with this fantastic group of musicians.” Comments are closed.
