A reflection on the contest experience from our man in the middle, Adrian Dalton...

“Back 'home' from contest now and a chance to reflect on the last week.

Wednesday: Congratulations to the Quartet on your 4th, taking a few scalps on the way and then the Trombones only go and beat all but one of the Trombone ensembles. What a way to start the week! The evening was spent on the Adjudicating Panel along with Andrew Snell and Karen St Guillaume for the Junior Champion of Champions, a huge honour (thank you Festival of Brass for the invitation) and a fantastic evening listening to NZ's brightest young talent!

Thursday: Kudos to you Aiyana Manson-King for fronting up in the Open Own Choice, I loved your playing, keep up the good work.

On to band events Friday and Saturday: What can I say?
Back in February I asked you to take extra leave from work so that we could treat this contest week like we would any ‘away trip’ contest. Thank you so much for the fully attended rehearsals DURING THE DAY on Wednesday and Thursday exactly as I had asked, and I think it made difference!”

Kia ora to all our young musicians!

Are you passionate about our movement and have ideas that could improve it?

The National Management Committee seeks nominations from each band of a youth delegate or delegates to form a Youth Council for the Association. Any band member under the age of 25 is eligible.

Each band is welcome to nominate between 1-3 young people by responding to the attached Google form link below. Please fill a new form out for each member you are nominating.
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5JUcLjwE4SJP9LJ2tujS2ol4Wf-8SnlW2a_C6dWai3gPloQ/viewform?usp=s...

If you are a young member interested in getting involved, speak to the committee/musical director of your band about being their nominee. If you are a committee member, president or band leader in some capacity, think about who within your band could be interested and speak to them about being your nominee.

If you are interested in finding out more, check out the article about the council published on page 9 of the May 2021 edition of The Mouthpiece, link below.

Addington’s April

April was a busy month for our band. Like every other community band nationwide we fulfilled our duties at the Papanui RSA observances on ANZAC day and featured Nikita Smith as our Last Post operative. Later that day a select Addington ensemble served up a menu of wartime nostalgia (AKA The Beer Band Folder!) for the winers and diners at Christchurch’s Riverside Market - this time with the full cooperation of the bar and cafe management who coordinated their in-house muzak to accomodate our performance. Yay, progress.

Speaking of progress, our band room refurbishments are continuing apace thanks to Brian Hodges who’s been busy replacing acoustic panels, and Jonathan Rae who’s been progressing the carpet laying and painting to the far reaches of the “other” rooms adjoining the main rehearsal hall. At this stage it looks like the kitchen is going to be the final frontier!

There’s been some shuffling afoot. Nikita Smith and Jane Good have filled gaps in the front row while Chris Bull and Jimmy Reimer have bolstered the back. Trevor Wilson continues to impress on Soprano and it’s great to welcome Louisa Clissold back into the fold on Flugel.

Throughout the remainder of the month we’ve been kept busy, and perhaps a little challenged, with preparations for our “Organic Brass” concert which was staged last night (May 1st) in the Transitional Cathedral with guest soloist Grant Bartley (organ) and the Christchurch Youth Choir conducted by Max Catto. We are grateful to these guest artists, and also to support players Steve Griffin (Eupho), Brian Kench (Eupho), Maxine Sherriff (Baritione) and Matthew Harris (BBb Bass). It would be a stretch to say that this concert was well-attended, which is a shame, because there was some real quality on offer. The band was in fine form and our guest artists were outstanding. Grant Bartley’s organ virtuoso pieces were a variety show in themselves and the city’s Youth Choir established themselves, again, as a “must hear” - a master class in pitch-perfect control, articulation, dynamic and nuance. Bravo!

And so with April done and dusted, July beckons and the National contest is in our cross-hairs. We’re feeling fit and ready to give it our best shot. ... See MoreSee Less

My dad and l once played on that bandstand when we were members of Addington Workshops Brass Band. It was some time in 1964-65 under the baton of Mr.Mervyn Waters. I have photos of the band around that era.
