OK – my guess wasn’t completely off (got the first right, didn’t I). Oslo brass band chocked by coming second on the first year in the championship section. Since I have played with a few of the bandsmen (and women) in that band I was really proud. Well done – Tone, Mattias and Clare!
Also Eikanger has my favorite euphonium player – Patrik Randefalk – and he and the rest of the band was marvelous, especially on the Extreme Makeover.
But the thing that impressed me most was that the whole thing was taped for Norwegian television. And you can see every performance afterwards here.
