Blowin' in the Bay

Avoid the bitter winter winds and hunker down in harmonic warmth, indulging in some escapism of a different kind with Deco Bay Brass and the Napier Technical Memorial Band. Join these fantastic musicians as they take you on a journey to the imaginative worlds of film and cinema.

Delight in this collaborative performance of music from the silver screen; the universally recognised refrains from the Star Wars franchise; sad, stirring songs from epic biopics, and showy numbers which will have you tapping your toes and singing along.

Hosted at the wonderful MTG Century Theatre in Napier (with the pocket-friendly ticket price of $15), you will be treated to an entertaining afternoon with two community bands hailing from right here in Hawke’s Bay. Never heard a brass or symphonic band play live? This is the concert for you, with each band performing a selection of pieces before massing together for a thrilling finale.

Still need a reason to pamper your ears? Enjoy lending support to the Napier Tech Junior Band – musicians from local primary, intermediate and high schools – some coming to the stage for the first time, to delight audiences and whānau.

Under the experienced leadership of Wayne Myhill (Deco Bay Brass), Christopher Wilson (Napier Technical Memorial Band), and Teresa Cuthbert (Napier Tech Junior Band), this concert promises something for everyone.

Both bands warmly welcome new and returning players; enquiries to decobaybrass@gmail.com Facebook @decobaybrass.
