Award Winners 2015 - 2016.

Junior Player of the Year: 

Rowan Maitland (baritone)

Rowan has improved immensely, and mostly on his own initiative. His natural musical talent has shone through this year. Excellent Rowan keep up that good Baritone work.

Most Improved Senior:

Clifford Wheatley (baritone)

Clifford has been on the 2nd Baritone part for quite a long time, and finding that he was the only Baritone for a while took on the big task of playing first Baritone. In the time Clifford played first Baritone it made him more confident in himself trying very difficult passages and achieving success. As well as being a fantastic showman and speaker Clifford has deserved the award this year hands down.

Bandsperson of the Year:  

CNL Cree Trophy Main Award
