On Saturday 25 July, a group of players from the Croydon Brass Band took part in the annual Victorian Bands’ League 2026 State Solo & Ensemble Championships.

The day was filled with milestones. Many of our newer members competed in their very first music competition, while others had the opportunity to meet and connect with the wider banding community for the first time. Several members stepped up to compete in the Open Section for the first time, and one of our young musicians made his public debut as a Musical Director.

Congratulations to everyone who participated. We are incredibly proud of your efforts
