24th July -
Feast of the Annunciation
2008 - WHAT A SUCCESS... Definitely feast 2008 was a huge success! A success on its own!
Absolutely a great feast! Yes…what we worked and planned on, the
results showed that Feast 2008 in Balzan dedicated to Our Lady of the
Annunciation was a class of its own. Everything worked fine. The St
Gabriel Band was very smart on the first outing held on Monday 7th
July 2008. The enthusiasm was great as from day one. The Musical and
Instrumental Program held on Thursday 10th July 2008 was of a
very very high standard. The large audience applauded time after time
and the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ was the climax of this Program as
fireworks were synchronized to music. The last outing for the St
Gabriel Band was on Friday 11th July 2008 as the
demonstration with the St Gabriel statue proved to be a spectacle.
Supporters were cheering up with fantastic band hymns while fireworks
were let off. At the end a multi-vision presentation was organized by
the Youth Committee. The St Helen Band of Birkirkara, Kings’ Own Band
of Valletta and the Stella Maris Band of Sliema were the bands that
completed this years’ bands program. One has to say a big thank you to
The Band of The Hampshire Constabulary from the UK. This Band gave a
tremendous Musical Program on Wednesday 9th July 2008.Well
done friends! The newly formed 25th Pyrotechnic Society gave
a large contribution to this years’ feast success. Thanks to those who
worked for this huge success. Thanks for those who came to share the
finest moments of this years’ feast.
