Mr HODGETT: Last Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending the Croydon Brass Band’s major concert for 2019 at the Melba College theatre. The Croydon Citizens Bands is a musical organisation with a membership of over 70 musicians drawn from the local and surrounding community. There are three bands under their banner: the Croydon Wind Symphony, the Croydon Brass Band and the Croydon Concert Band. They rehearse in Keystone Hall in Croydon and make a terrific contribution to our local community. Congratulations to musical director Melina Benger for conducting the brass band in playing Bohemian Rhapsody at the concert and for their joint performance of Shallow with Tinternvale Primary School. To president Peter Heath, the band members and schoolchildren, congratulations on a wonderful concert.
