South Brisbane Federal Band

The Queens Birthday long weekend saw the return of the 2010 Queensland Brass Band Championships to the Gold Coast. Amid all the competition and catching up was the annual Gala Concert and headlining a list of very fine ensembles was The Feds.

Playing works such as Wagner’s “Lohengrin” and the finale to “The William Tell Overture” the ensemble wowed the crowd with an impressive display of technical skill and musicality. Soloists Kirsty Biggs and Dan Bryant both delivered amazing performances, with their renditions of “Rusulka’s Song to the Moon” by Dvorak and “Bess You Is My Woman Now” respectively. Audience members all agree that The Feds were the hit of the night.
