The South Australian Band Association is saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Gordon Stanley Kramm who passed away yesterday (Monday 30 May).
Our deepest sympathies to Gordon's son David Kramm, his family, friends and the wider band community.
Gordon was 93 years old and spent 87 of those years playing in bands and was awarded the SABA Fellowship award in 2016.
He was an outstanding cornet player, a true gentleman & a massive contributor to South Australian banding His support for young musicians was highly valued & appreciated. Gordon will be missed by so many of us within the SA banding community.
Rest in peace dear friend.

On behalf of the banding movement of South Australia it is with great sadness that I advise that our great friend James Dempsey passed away suddenly on Sunday night.  “Jim” has been a stalwart of the brass band movement in South Australia since moving from Queensland some 40 years ago. 
He was a valued member of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, recently retiring. 
Jim was recently presented with the South Australian Band Association’s most prestigious Fellowship Award for Outstanding Service to the band movement.
He was a brilliant musician, trumpet player, conductor and teacher and has left a great legacy of dedication and commitment to brass playing. 
As a Scotsman of course he had a brilliant sense of humour and together with his musical ability he will be greatly missed in many a band room around Australia.

Vale Jim – we’ll miss you mate.  Rest in peace dear friend.

President South Australian Band Association
