ABA Solo and ensemble contest

The Auckland Band Association Solo and Ensemble competition was held at Onehunga High School on Sunday 2nd August, 2020.

Our very talented Wendy Kjestrup took part in this competition for the first time.

Wendy competed in the Over 19 Novice slow melody class. She played a piece called Ragtime Tuba without any accompaniment gaining 1st place and the cup for the class. Wendy comments were “it was great fun and everyone was lovely and encouraging. the Brass Band community is very supportive”

Well done Wendy!
