Tanunda Contest

The contest yesterday was a gruelling but rewarding day.

The festival committee was pleased with the turnout and it was a good day for our band also. I think most bands and spectators had a good time.

I'll have a chat about this at band practice on Tuesday but in addition to the positive comments on the sheets I had a chat to both piping judges and they were most complimentary about our performance and attitude. Apparently the change has been noted in other bands and has been a topic of discussion.

Thanks everyone for turning out on what is always a fairly demanding day. You did well both pipers and drummers, keep it up!
