What a great programme! What a brilliant performance by the St. Gabriel Band Club! Yes, the much awaited Musical Programme brought to an end a week of celebrations…the 50^th Anniversary since the purchase of the Club. The St. Gabriel Band was in a splendid mood under the direction of Mro. Joseph Vella and his newly appointed Assistant Mro. Tony Carbonaro. And what about the surprises during the Musical Programme! Just to mention some…when the backpipes came to join the band, Jessica Muscat and the Ave Maria and finally when almost at the end, the bandsmen left the hall one after each other as the selection chosen was Music Strike. Well done goes to the compares… Marlene Abela and Charles Abela Mizzi. They were smart and elegant. Well done goes to all those volunteers who worked non-stop to decorate the Hall and others who co-ordinated the publicity and the script. Well done to the Band’s Director Mro. Joseph Vella, his Assistant Mro Tony Carbonaro and all the Bandmen who did the St. Gabriel Band Club proud. Thanks goes to the His Ecc. President of the Republic Dr. Edward Fenech Adami who honoured us with his presence. The audience was wonderful and their attendance gave us more courage to work harder in the long run. Definitely, the ST. GABRIEL BAND CLUB remains in the heart of our community.
