2023 BBNI Brass in Concert
Congratulations to 1st Old Boys Association Silver, CWA Brass and St Mark's Silver on winning the entertainment prizes at the recent Brass in Concert event in Fivemiletown. The Championship Section saw 1st Old Boys Association Silver deliver an impressive set under MD Jonathan Corry. The programme included 'Living Power' by Tom Davoren, Philip Wilby's 'Wondrous Cross' followed by the prize-winning march, 'The Australasian' by William Rimmer. The programme continued with film music in the form of 'Mission Impossible' and 'Soul Bossa Nova' before tuba player Andrew Milligan performed Roy Newsome’s classic 'Bass in the Ballroom', quite rightly earning him the soloist prize. The band concluded its winning set with the finale from 'Glorifico Aeternum' by Dean Jones.
