We are thrilled to announce that our Symphonic Wind Orchestra was awarded a prestigious gold award at the London Regional heat of the National Concert Band Festival. The ensemble received fantastic remarks from the judges, highlighting the strength and quality of their performance.

While the official confirmation is still pending, the gold award puts the orchestra in a strong position to be invited to the National Finals at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) next year.

A special mention goes to Alex (SFC1), who gave a stunning, fully memorised performance of ‘Oblivion’ by Astor Piazzolla, impressing both the audience and the judges.

This success wouldn’t have been possible without the contribution of several talented musicians from Habs Girls who joined the ensemble and performed with exceptional skill and energy.

Thank you to Mr Taylor, Miss Newton-Brill and Mr Duguid for their dedication and support. We look forward to the possibility of performing on the national stage next year!
