2008 NSW State Concert Band Championships Results

CONGRATULATION to our HMA Senior band for a FANTASTIC performance at the 2008 NSW State Concert Band Championships held at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre on August 30 in Penrith. It was a very long day for most of us, but it was a very rewarding experience I’m sure.

First place went to Castle Hill RSL Youth who are current Junior A Grade National & State Champions.

Second place went to Sutherland PCYC who only this year moved down from Open A Grade to Open B Grade and also took first place in the Nationals in Brisbane.

While our Senior Band claimed third place at this year’s competition, a very well deserved result indeed.
