June 13, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Wondai and District Brass Band were announced as the runners-up in the Concert Program section of this year’s Queensland Brass Band Competition held at Nambour on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It was a remarkable feat because the group haven’t taken part in the competition for the past 19 years, and were also the smallest band at the event.<\/p>\n

The competition – the 48th Festival Of Brass – was hosted by Sunshine Brass this year, and held at Nambour High School’s Hungerford Hall.<\/p>\n

The full day program attracted many brass bands from south-east Queensland, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Bundaberg.<\/p>\n

Although the Wondai band has 25 members only 16 could attend, including long time bandsman (and former Wondai Shire Mayor) Percy Iszlaub, 90.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We went into the competition knowing we wouldn\u2019t win, but it provided us with good experience and a reason to learn new music,” band leader Josh Gadischke said.<\/p>\n

“One of our members – Terry Jacobson – has had many years of competition experience, so he was able to share his insights about key areas the judges would be looking at during marking.”<\/p>\n

Terry’s advice paid off when the band took out second place in the “Concert Program”, which is a 30 minute program of mixed tunes.<\/p>\n

Other sections that were judged over the weekend included Hymn, March and Major Work.<\/p>\n

The judges commended the skill of the band’s musical director Gary Andersen, who conducted the band while he was playing a cornet.<\/p>\n

They also remarked on the band’s ability to cover all music parts – and even compensate during playing – for features often assigned to dedicated players.<\/p>\n

Overall, band members said the day was an enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n

And it was made all the more enjoyable by the bus trip back home afterwards, which allowed them to share jokes and refreshments.<\/p>\n

The Wondai and District Band is made up of voluntary musicians who practice every Wednesday night at Wondai.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several players also live in Kingaroy, Yarraman and Kumbia.<\/p>\n

New members of any skill level are always welcome, and membership enquiries can be made by phoning Jane Iszlaub on 0411-118-510.<\/p>\n
