Brent
Hoy joins the Band on Soprano from Woolston.
We
are thrilled to be able to announce that Brent has recently
moved to Wanganui from Christchurch.
Brent is a player of the highest calibre and experience, having
played soprano with the wonderful Woolston Band for many years.
He has also been a soprano player in a number of National Bands
of New Zealand. Brent will add tremendous depth to our cornet team.
Welcome to Wanganui, Brent.

Sadly
we announce the recent passing of a past player, Jack Ibell.
Jack was a wonderful cornet player, playing with both the two Wanganui
bands on a number of occasions over the years.
He was a member
of the National Bands of New Zealand in 1953 and 1962 and won the
Open Cornet Championship on several occasions.
Our condolences go to his family. |

The
Band presented a magnificent "Last Night of the Proms" concert
in the Royal Wanganui Opera House. This event was totally sold
out and was a triumph for both Producer Tony cowan and Musical
Director, Bruce Jellyman. The Band continues to go from strength
to strength.
