Twelve bands competed in the graded section yesterday with no bands in the A Grade section.
A Grade bands Brisbane Brass (Jon Christodoulides) and Brisbane Excelsior (Howard Taylor) featured in the Best of Brass Gala Concert on Saturday evening. Held in the great venue of the Brolga Theatre on the banks of the Mary River, an enthusiastic 700+ audience provided appreciative support to the visiting bands.
Maryborough has become well known as one of the best supporting towns of brass bands in Australia, which was once again clearly demonstrated on the weekend.
