Finally, the southern hemisphere sees Mark Ford, the hugely respected, conductor, performer, adjudicator and educator come on board along with cornet and trumpet star Dominic Longhurst, conductor of the Willoughby Band.

In New Zealand the respected baritone soloist Steven Booth boosts the SM Ultra range and cornet soloist Harmen Vanhoorn, who plays the Alliance range, become artists.
