0:00:240:00:29

-..competed for the 10,000

-first prize.

0:00:290:00:32

-Competition was as fierce as ever...

0:00:330:00:35

-..as some musical giants

-battled for the title.

0:00:360:00:39

-Four sessions were held

-in Aberystwyth...

0:00:400:00:43

-..with the final

-of Branwen Gwyn and Geraint Cynan...

0:00:510:00:57

-..on our journey to crown

-the Band Cymru champions of 2016.

0:00:580:01:02

-My highlight

-from the first session...

0:01:100:01:13

-..was Capital City Jazz Orchestra's

-lively rendition of Sing Sang Sung.

0:01:130:01:18

-So much excitement

-from the soloists...

0:01:180:01:20

-..and a tight performance

-by the ensemble.

0:01:200:01:23

-APPLAUSE

0:03:520:03:54

-As a former member

-of the BTM band...

0:03:580:04:00

-..I enjoyed seeing them compete

-in this year's competition.

0:04:010:04:04

-Their performance of Hora Stacatto

-was a highlight for me.

0:04:050:04:08

-It's a very technical piece...

0:04:090:04:11

-..but they performed it

-so accurately and musically.

0:04:110:04:15

-They went on to win their session

-so the judges agreed with me!

0:04:150:04:18

-APPLAUSE

0:06:200:06:22

-My highlight, without a doubt,

-was Folk Festival by Shostakovich...

0:06:220:06:26

-..by Tredegar Brass Band.

0:06:270:06:28

-It doesn't last long,

-it's over in an instant...

0:06:290:06:32

-..but there are some very

-technical parts for the cornets...

0:06:320:06:36

-..and every note

-was perfectly in place.

0:06:360:06:39

-APPLAUSE

0:08:500:08:52

-Lowenna Taylor was someone

-that we chose as the best soloist.

0:08:560:09:00

-She puts a lot of feeling

-in her playing.

0:09:020:09:06

-It's not just notes -

-there's a lot of music there.

0:09:060:09:09

-Her sound was exquisite -

-the future is hers.

0:09:090:09:13

-Birdland by Beaumaris Brass Band.

0:12:440:12:46

-Wow. I couldn't stop smiling

-during this piece.

0:12:470:12:50

-The performance was so tight,

-and yet, so free...

0:12:500:12:54

-..and it ended

-with Bari Gwiliam's solo.

0:12:540:12:57

-The notes were so high,

-they sounded like a bird.

0:12:570:13:00

-APPLAUSE

0:15:130:15:15

-This is the piece that excited me

-the most throughout the competition.

-Band performing Abide With Me.

0:15:220:15:27

-by the Llwydcoed Brass Band.

0:18:170:18:20

-They didn't win their session...

0:18:200:18:23

-..but there were some starring

-moments and this is one of them.

0:18:230:18:27

-What better way

-to round off their set.

0:18:270:18:29

-APPLAUSE

0:21:320:21:34

-Chamber Winds gave a performance

-of American Patrol...

0:21:350:21:38

-..and that particularly

-stuck in my mind.

0:21:380:21:41

-Woodwind players,

-they're not jazzers...

0:21:420:21:45

-..they're straight players,

-essentially.

0:21:450:21:48

-But they managed

-to make the thing swing.

0:21:480:21:51

-It was a lovely arrangement

-and they performed it...

0:22:030:22:07

-..with verve and enthusiasm

-and I really enjoyed it.

0:22:070:22:10

-They gave something which is not the

-norm for a college wind ensemble.

0:22:100:22:15

-They made a great job of it.

0:22:150:22:17

0:31:520:31:54
