Phothisamphanphitthayakhan School’s marching band brought the
HRH Crown Prince trophy back to Pattaya after winning the Brass Theatre
III competition in Bangkok.
Phothisamphanphitthayakhan Principal Visanu Phasomzup and Saroj
Bunmuang, consultant on musical strategies for Chonburi Province, joined
the 45-piece brass band at Lan Po Park for the start of a parade on
Naklua Road Jan. 16 to show off the trophy earned by beating out
marching bands from around the kingdom.
The Dec. 8 competition at The Mall Bangkapi was sponsored by the
ministries of Education and Culture with Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat
University and the Melodion Association to promote music programs among
students of all ages.
Phothisamphanphitthayakhan won the Senior Mattayom bracket against eight
other schools including heavy favorite Ratchasima Wittayalai School,
which had won a world championship.
“We had been training the youths for more than three months to compete
in the program,” Saroj said. “This is our first time participating and
we have done our best. We never expected to win HRH Crown Prince
trophy.”
