Southern Counties Amateur Brass Band Association

Own Choice Test Piece Competition 2016 The Hawth, Crawley.

The competition was split into two parts, firstly a hymn tune and then a test piece, both being adjudicated by Denis Wilby.
The band, conducted by Matt Brown, had chosen to play the hymn tune Melita and Philip Sparke’s The Year of the Dragon and played off the number 2 slot.

With a quartet starting the hymn tune before the whole band then joined in after the opening 2 stanzas, producing a big warm sound in the final verse.

The Year of the Dragon consists of three movements, and the 2nd movement of the piece has a demanding Trombone solo. Congratulations to Cam for a very good assured performance.

When the results were announced the band were placed 1st for ther hymn tune and 2nd for the test piece, with the Basses being awarded the best Bass section prize. A successful ‘day at the office’.
