2020 - Covid19 Dream Team

Our band was getting ready for a special year with the intention to play regionals in Tauranga and then nationals in Christchurch... alas it wasn't to be with the outbreak of Covid19 taking a few months of our lives. Making us practice hard at home and reuniting when we went from Level 4 down to Level 2. Now in Level 1 (June/July) we are able to practice and perform in public. The band intends to participate in regional championships out of the WBOP region because our regionals were cancelled. 

Walter and Leighton have made it into the NZ SS Brass Band for a second time and intend to play in the September school holidays. 

Walter and Simon have made it into the NZ Youth Band for 2021.
