Cecillia Cason has once again added another commendable achievement to her growing collection of titles after returning home from Melbourne’s 2025 Yamaha Australian National Band Championships.
Cecillia was awarded the Junior Champion award for her outstandingly skilled Tenor Horn performance and technique after competing in the Junior Solo section against many other experienced musicians.
Representing Townsville Brass, Cecillia’s talents left the judges speechless, earning her an outstanding score of 95 points, first place in Australia, and the prestigious title of National Champion.
In the past twelve months alone, Cecillia has travelled across Australia and to the United States of America to showcase and hone her musical skillset to respected judges and celebrated musicians across the globe. November of last year saw Cecillia set off to Seattle as one of only 20 Australian students selected to participate in the highly prestigious Western International Band Clinic, a place she earnt following on from attending Griffith University’s Pacific Honours Ensemble Program.
With her feet now back on Burdekin soil for the moment, Cecillia believes this remarkable milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of her dedicated tutors and teachers. One mentor in particular, Dr. Mark Smith, was warmly thanked for his expert guidance and support, with Cecillia noting his mentorship, encouragement, and belief in her abilities were key to achieving her success and national triumph.
