BRASS BAND.
NEW ZEALAND ORGANISATION.
AMBITIOUS PROJECT.
(BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, June '3.
Mr H. Berry, a prominent bandmaster of Australia, who has recently taken up the eonductorship of the Wellington Tramways Band, proposes to organise a New Zealand brass band fit to hold its own with the bands which conic over here from Australia and to carry off the honours at New Zealand contests. A committee has been formed to assist him and to provide finance towards his object. Mr Berry has engaged J. Morrell (euphonium player) and E. Edwards (drummer), both of the Argyll and Sutherland Band, to take up their permanent residence here to play with the Tramways Band. B. Tucker, of the Lithgow Band and champion horn player of Australia, has also been secured.
Mr Berry considers that New Zealand can turn out as good a band as any, and hopes to make the Tramways Band equal to any outside competitor.
