Kenneth Young, adjudicator for the Feilding Festival, shares his experiences from the 17th Festival of Bands: Hello everyone Just a note to let you know how much I once again enjoyed adjudicating at Feilding's 17th Festival of Bands. This is my third visit and I look forward to it every time. What I admire is the relatively uncompetitive nature of the day's activities. It is, first and foremost, a festival. Thirteen wind and brass bands from as far afield as Napier and Hastings gathered to have a fun day of music making and socialising. There appears to be valuable local support from the community and, under the experienced and invaluable leadership of Peter Ellery, a dedicated team of locals who work very hard to make it all come together. That there were no hitches during the day is a credit to them all. The organisation appeared seamless to me. Both college and community bands were well represented and them seemed to be a genuine willingness to both learn and simply enjoy the music making without regard to any particular outcome, aside from giving their best on the day. Most refreshing. I look forward to being invited again in the future. Kenneth Young Are you looking for the results from the Festival? Details can be found on the Feilding Festival Results page.
