Norwegian Ranking: 63
National Record: 2002 – 13th; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: 13th
The only details we have are that the band came 13th here last
here under the direction of J. M. Guldager. They didn’t compete
at SIDDIS.
Fitjar Musikklag
Conductor: Torstein Hatlevik
Norwegian Ranking: None
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: DNC
All we have on the band is that this is perhaps their first time
at the contest and that they came 8th at the SIDDIS contest last
year wit the same MD.
Flå Musikkorps
Conductor: Odd Steinar Mørkved
Norwegian Ranking: 87
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: DNC
Sorry, but a little bit of a mystery to us – all we know
is that they are ranked 87 in Norway.
Førde Musikkorps
Conductor: Pål W. Jøsok
Norwegian Ranking: 61
National Record: 2002 – Joint 16th; 2001
– 10th; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: Joint 16th
A high ranking for a band in the bottom section, so they have some
impressive form against higher ranked bands, including 6th place
in the 2nd Division of the SIDDIS contest last year. They came joint
16th last year under the same MD and came 10th the year before.
Grenland Brass
Conductor: Ketil Klingberg
Norwegian Ranking: 37
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
14th; 2000 – 11th;
Last Year: DNC
The band didn’t compete last year but the year before they
came 14th under the same MD. High ranking though and possibly based
on their fine result of coming 6th in the 2nd Division at the SIDDIS
contest last year.
Hetlevik Musikklag
Conductor: Svein Magne Olsen
Norwegian Ranking: None
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: DNC
Sorry, but we have no information on the band. We think they may
be making their debut this year.
Kvikne Hornmusikk
Conductor: Ingrid Øyen
Norwegian Ranking: None
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: DNC
Much the same for Kvikne. We have no information on the band, so
another making their debut?
Lismarkens musikforening/Mesnali Bygdekorps
Conductor: - Erling Myrseth
Norwegian Ranking: 57
National Record: 2002 – Joint 16th; 2001
– 13th; 2000 – 16th;
Last Year: Joint 16th
Joint 16th last year under the same MD, which was a drop from 13th
the year before when they were conducted by Erling Myrseth. The
year before they were 16th again, so they will be hoping that the
odd years will see anther improvement upwards. The band did not
compete at the SIDDIS contest.
Sauda Musikklag
Conductor: Thormod Gilje
Norwegian Ranking: 68
National Record: 2002 – 19th; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: 19th
The only details we have is that the band played here last year
and came 19th under the direction of Thormod Gilje. They did not
compete at SIDDIS.
Skui Brass Band
Conductor: Trond Nilsen
Norwegian Ranking: 55
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;

Debut this year? The only information we have is that the band
came 6th in the 3rd Division of the SIDDIS contest last year.
Tertnes Amatørkorps
Conductor: Tormod R. Flaten
Norwegian Ranking: None
National Record: 2002 – DNC; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: DNC
By all accounts possibly the band to beat. Tertnes are made up
of former players and students and conducted by Eikanger’s
brilliant euphonium player. Apart from that, we don’t know
anything more.
Ungdomskorpset Samklang
Conductor: Tormod R. Flaten
Norwegian Ranking: 46
National Record: 2002 – 13th; 2001 –
DNC; 2000 – DNC;
Last Year: 13th
Came 13th here last year and 7th at SIDDIS in the 3rd Division
so a band that has had a year on the circuit and done quite well.
According to the programme, the second band to be conducted by Tormod
Flaten of Eikanger.
