Summit was premiered by the Hyde Street Youth Band at an inspiring brass and percussion concert in Footscray. The youth band were joined by Western Brass and Footscray-Yarraville City Band, in airing their repertoire before they journey to Newcastle for the National Championships over the Easter weekend.

The commission was assisted by the Maribyrnong Triennial Grants programme, and was aimed to suit this unique band. Although officially a youth ensemble, the band frequently compete in open divisions as well, and Summit could be performed happily by open bands. The work is published by BrookWright

Other repertoire played at the concert included hymns, marches, and complete test pieces such as Jared McCunnie’s Siege
