Members of Willoughby Band made a huge splash at the State Solo and Party Competition over the weekend of 27th-28th June2009.
The band is particularly proud to announce that Brian McGuinness, Principal Cornet of our Senior Band and Musical Director of the Youth Band, delivered a spectacular performance of the Arutunian Concerto to take out the last ever T. E. Gawn Memorial Trophy.
A special mention also to Mark Coleman who took out the Open Tenor Horn event, beating the reigning National Champion of Champions, Bruce Myers.
Our congratulations as well to Jeffrey Ma, winner of the Open Euphonium, who triumphed over such seasoned campaigners as Matthew Van Emmerick and Daniel Alexander.
