St George Brass Band

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to congratulate the St George Brass Band on their top performance at the 2019 Band Association of NSW's Solo and Party Championships. The St George Brass Band shone at the Championships which were held on the 29th and 30th of June last year at Barker College, Hornsby. The Championships attracted over 420 entries from across the state and even a couple from interstate. Eight members of the St George Brass were nominated by the Band to enter the competition with entry fees covered in part by Georges River Council. I am very proud to report that following a remarkable string of performances, all eight players came home with at least one first place certificate. Despite Gunnedah taking out the Champion of Champions, I am beyond proud of our local entrants including Leo Huang and Zachary Sharples of Oatley, Alex Putra of South Hurstville, Harry Kane of Cronulla and Sammy Wong of Bexley North. I wish St George Brass Band all the very best in their future endeavours.
