The Wanganui Garrison Band is threatening legal proceedings to recover the medals which were awarded to the Auckland First Battalion Band on protest in connection with the trio competition at the recent contest. The Wanganui representatives were placed first by the judge, but were disqualified by the association on the gronnd that they played tbe same piece as at Christchurch, i where they also won. The medals were then awarded to Auckland, who came second. It is the rule of the North Island Brass Bands' Association that three years must elapse before the same piece can again be rendered by the winning band.
