Feilding's Sandra Wheeler has a brain tumor for an
year but she has survived and becomes the first civilian woman to win the Terry
Moloney Memorial Bugle. She was awarded the New Zealand Defense Force (NZDF)Bugle at a small ceremony at her home last weekend where she said you just do
what you want to do. Wheeler who is the fifth recipient of the award has a run
of 35 years of continuous service to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF)
and NZDF musical services.
The Bugle prize that was started by the International
Military Music Society is awarded to the Zealand military band member annually
who has served military music in a great way. The band was joined by Wheeler on
July 1, 1980 and then she never left. The most current success of her was being
appointed the RNZAF music services coordinator for Ohakea after leading a long
list.
This duty gave the band a new and positive direction
because her ties to local bands and schools have brought young talent to the
band. She also has taught music for many years at Huntley School. The next job
of the New Zealand Army Band is to give performance at Edinburgh Tattoo. The tattoo is set to take place on 5-27 August 2016. It is hoped the band will
perform at its climax in the show and spectators will enjoy a lot of the
display.
