The word of the President (01/2006)

, by Andrew Knight, Michel Possoz

The requirements of the techniques and times, necessary to do the ’De STER’ publication duplication, led me to write this leading article before even before the Harmony completed its activities of the year 2005.

At this moment, I know already that the gala concert of the December 18 will proceed in front of a full room. All the places were sold as of December 7.

These successes of interest and estime from our members, go right in the hard of our Chief and “his” musicians.

They are the result of the radiation which their services enjoy, real musical performances, so much with EVERE than with BIOUL, the LARGE HORNU, SCHAERBEEK, BRUSSELS (great Places and Bozar), AUDERGHEM, KNOKKE-HEIST, ANDERLECHT.

The 16 concerts, carried out in this memorable year 2005, were prepared by 42 musicians out of the 55 who account the Harmony to date.

By the arrival of new musicians, conquered by the atmosphere which reigns within the Harmony, this one became a musical phalange using of the instruments of all kinds (with wind, percussion, cords, organ and accordion).

For little, nothing is opposed more to than it changes, on certain occasions, Concertband or Large Dance band and Varieties.

Let us not go however too quickly! To ones and to others I remind that our success will be accentuated only if we remain moving on and stay attentive to the demand of our public, and that we do not lose the enthusiasm which animates us!

On this subject, be assured that Paul Schoovaerts will be able to make the difference.

See the advertisement of our next services and come in a number, dear members and sympathizers, to encourage our musicians.

To all and with all, a LARGE THANK YOU for your fidelity and ...

Better wishes of happiness, health and prosperity during a splendid year 2006
