LARRY BARDEN-MAITLAND CITY BRASS BAND

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—I would like to congratulate Larry Barden on his dedication to the Maitland City Brass Band, having been a member for 50 of the bands 60 year existence. Larry began his journey with the Maitland City Brass band playing the cornet and tenor horn however now Larry plays the euphonium. Larry is the person who always "gets things done" and never expects any accolades. Any time the band performs he's the first on-site to help bump in and the last on hand to bump out. When the Band performs at multiple events on the one day such as ANZAC Day ceremonies, Larry pulls off the miracle of a smooth setup. Even when COVID-19 reduced numbers and participation to just eight members, Larry was there. Larry has been awarded Life Membership of the Maitland City Brass Band and on the 12th of November he was recognised by the NSW Bands Association with his 50-Year Badge for continuous membership. Larry's contribution is highly valued and it's my pleasure to recognise his commitment and loyalty.
