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 7^th July 2008. The enthusiasm was great as from day one. The Musical and Instrumental Program held on Thursday 10^th 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 11^th 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 9^th July 2008.Well done friends! The newly formed 25^th 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.
