Anthony has been an actively involved community band and military musician – playing euphonium, baritone and/or trombone – since the early/mid 1990s, not missing an Australian National Band Championships as a participant since first competing in 1991’s Junior Euphonium section at Adelaide’s Centennial Hall. He has been part of five A Grade Brass and Concert wins: with K&N Brass in 1992 and 2002, Elder Conservatorium Wind Ensemble in 1994 and 1995 and Unley Concert Band in 2016. Among state solo wins, Anthony was SABA Junior Champion of Champions in 1994.
