THE streets of Bright rang with the festive sounds of a host of guest brass bands during this year's Alpine Brass Festival, held on Saturday, 14 June.

The town played host to the Victorian State Youth Brass Band, Canberra Brass Inc., Hyde Street Youth Band, Beaufort Band, Creswick Brass Band and Wodonga Brass as they roamed the streets of Bright performing at the local Woolworths supermarket, Morses Creek Bakery, Hawthorn Village and more.

“It was a perfect day, with lots of sunshine and happy people out and about to enjoy this year's music," co-director of Skunkworks community and festival organiser, Phillipa Edwards OAM said.

“If you stood at a particular spot in front of the St John's Church at any time of the day, you could hear a couple of bands playing from different angles, which was really cool.

“All the residents at Hawthorn Village were very grateful for the performances held there and enjoyed them very much.

“We've already had interest from a lot of other businesses to be on the location list for next year.

"We're looking forward to putting on a bigger and better festival next year thanks to the Alpine Shire and local businesses and the Bright Chalet."

Organisers thanked the incredible bands who travelled to be part of this event, as their 'energy and musicianship filled the town with life and colour' all weekend.

This year’s festival also raised funds for the Skunkworks Community Percussion Drive, to provide quality instruments for community musicians across Victoria.
