4 in a Row for Eikanger
Congratulations to Eikanger Bjorsvik Musikklag, who under the skilful direction of Reid Gilje are the winners of the 2019 Norwegian National Championships. Although placed 3rd in the own choice section of the competition, a resounding win on the set test meant the band took the title for a 4th successive year, by a margin of less than a point from runners-up Stavanger Brass. Eikanger will now receive an invitation to represent Norway at the 2020 European Championships to be held in Palanga.
A more detailed review of the contest will appear in next issue of BBW; full results can be seen below.
