Summer School
The NSW Branch of APBA Inc
has awarded 3 Scholarships
to the 2012 APBA Summer School.
Piping: Heather McKenzie
Snare: Lucy Jones
Snare: Michael Talidu
The award was to be for 1 x piping, 1 x snare & 1 x mid-section however no applications were received for mid-section so 2 x snare have been awarded instead.
It was a shame that some applicants took little notice of the prerequisite of being able to play a march as in massed band tune on either the pipes or drums.
It was good to see that some applicants showed great initiative in forwarding a brief summary of their musical achievements etc. which always helps in comparing candidates.
