Glenferrie Brass

Mr T SMITH: I had the pleasure on Saturday night, along with the member for Hawthorn, to attend the merger of the Kew and Hawthorn brass bands at Camberwell High School. It was a wonderful evening. It was a cabaret. Those two bands are now forming Glenferrie Brass. Both the Kew and Hawthorn bands are historic brass bands which have done remarkably well over the years, the Hawthorn band in particular winning in the national championships on a number of occasions. The Kew band has been an important part of our local community, and I wish the merged bands all the success for the future.
