We received the 'Best of Show' award for Junk Wagon as part of the Global Music Awards! In addition, we also received the GMA's 'Award of Excellence' for creativity, originality, and overall quality of production. It is truly gratifying for the members of the big band and the production team to be recognized for their outstanding work.
