Southland Secondary Schools Band 2020
In 2020, nine members from the Ascot Park Hotel Brass were selected for the National Secondary Schools Brass Band of New Zealand. This was a huge honour for both the individuals and the band as a whole, showcasing the strength of Southland’s youth music programs.
Those selected included Brianna Loan, Rachel Checketts, Darcy Herrick, Lilly Stotzer, Stacey Adams, Meadow Bodkin-Allen, Florence McKenzie, Te Amorangi Day, and Jack O'Connell.
The band congratulates all participants for their dedication and achievement. This recognition continues the proud tradition of developing young talent in the south.
