Gosford wins the NSW Open C Grade Brass Championships held
on the 3rd of September 2005

Open Grade State Championship RESULTS
Conducted by Tom Hill, Gosford lifted on the day to perform well in front of an appreciative audience at the Macquarie
University, Ryde.
The winning point score was 214, one point ahead of Parrammatta.The Band played a warm rendition of the scared item Lloyd.
The test piece - "The Ship Builders" by Peter Yorke opened with energy and style, the 2nd movement somewhat unstable,
the third displayed good dynamics and timing and the last movement ending the piece with some brilliant horn playing of the
ships maiden voyage.
The bands
own choice “Triumphant Rhapsody” (Gilbert Vinter) was a challenging composition chosen to improve the playing
skills throughout the band. The band again showed energetic and tuneful application playing at its best. Featured instruments
such as the euphonium, solo cornet and flugelhorn provided excellent sound and quality playing.
