Success for Gota in the Swedish Nationals
Gota Brass Band retains the Swedish National title and will compete in the 2019 European Championships. The band’s victory under MD Michael Tomsen’s direction was clear cut with 4 points separating them from second placed Solna Brass. Gota produced fantastic performances, across two days, of the set test ‘Odyssey’ and own choice work ‘The 39thParallel’ by Peter Graham.
Congratulations also to Lunds University Brass Band, Immanuel Brass (Enköping) and Habo Small Band respective winners of the first, second and youth divisions.
