The East Coast of Australia Championships recently took place at Newcastle City Hall in New South Wales in association with the Hunter Regional Band Association.

Impressive

The Section 1 contest saw another impressive result for Holroyd Brass under the baton of MD Andy Yule who have been through a bit of a roller coaster journey over the last few years; from near collapse and relegation (from A to B Grade) to winning the 2012 AU National Championships (B Grade), 2012 State Championships (B Grade) and now the East Coast of Australia Championship.
