Bill with Yukata Nishida 2006 Australian National Band Comps 2006-04-30
Yukata came by our business stall at the National Band Competitions and introduced himself. He has a radio program in Japan called "The Bandwagon" where he plays excerpts of Concert Bands, Brass Bands, Jazz and more.
His website is www.musictown.jp if you would like to have a look.
In talking to the Bandmaster of the Osaka Harmony Brass (Grade A), Atsuhiko Okamoto, I learned that Japan has 40 brass bands but no national competitions. However, they do have a Band Fesitval where the bands come and play for each other and the public. Hence, Osaka's entrance into our National Competition. I thought it was great having them there. They were also at Newcastle in the 2003 Nationals.
