After the recent victory at the europeans, MD Frans Violet and his musicians were determed to make a (studio recorded) CD. The last years the band always was on the EBBC CD with a major testpiece, but for the fans they also had to make a CD with a concert programma on it. During the month June the band has recorded in the famous Galaxy Studios, and the CD will be ready in september. It will feature some of the bands soloist: Raf Van Looveren on cornet with 'Rule Britannia', Walter Hoeks on trombone with 'Dear Frog', Stef Pillaert on euphonium with 'Harlequin' and Bert Van Thienen on soprano with a piece from the belgian composer Stijn Roels 'Lyrica'. Further only one testpiece on the cd (Elgar Variations), and various lighter items as Jubilee (quick march), Horizons (Paul Lovatt-Cooper)... Also a new arrangement by the band's soprano player and a lovely slow piece by the Belgian composer Bart Wuilmus is recorded. The CD will be released in September!
