What MSO players should WE use next year?
At the Ballarat State Championships held on the weekend of 14th and 15th October, the Box Hill City Band made an impressive return to the contesting arena. The band came second to Booroondara, who were fielding a cornet section that included two Melbourne Symphony Orchestra players!
Whitehorse Brass did very well, also coming a very close second.
Box Hill's performance recordings are below, without the adjudicator's comments. They may take a minute to download.
