Sunday night saw the Bands Annual Awards night held at Darios Ristorante just down the road from our band room.<\/p>\n
With Lots of awards to be had, a mixture of tongue in cheek awards and more important ones the band settled in for a night of Camaraderie and some nice food and drinks. The evening\u2019s musical entertainment was supplied by our very own DJ Bob “Dr Sparks” Brown and a tricky Brass band themed quiz which was compiled by Michael Kennedy.<\/p>\n
After our meal and the quiz questions completed, the awards ceremony began.<\/p>\n
The First of the main Awards was decided upon between MD Richard Marshall and Resident Conductor Vicki Kennedy and was for the most improved player. This was awarded to percussionist Natasha Littlejohns.<\/p>\n
Second up, was the section of the year award. Again, decided by Richard and Vicki, the award went to the Trombone section \u2013 Ian Kennedy, Jon Thompson and Adam Foy.<\/p>\n
