Sunday Bandstand 18 February 2024

In 1999, apart from the German Salvation Army band in Solingen, Germany could only boast three authentic brass bands. On of them is Brass Band Oberschwaben-Allgau (BBOA) established in 1992 by music-school teachers, students and committed brass players with the aim of following the original English line-up of 25 brass players and three percussionists to create a German ensemble with a character of its own. Expressed in the various styles deliberately imported by individual members of the band.

Since 1995, the band has been broadcasting recordings from the band's annual programme of the BBOA, it has also competed regularly and has always excelled in the national competitions.

We are featuring the band on this week's show with a popular contest piece 'Dimensions' written by Peter Graham...Enjoy
