The Band
At the moment the Band is running a Development Band from where members progress to the Concert Band.
We also have the Jazz Band which has been established for many years.
The Concert Band is a new band containing of course more variety of instruments and has been playing together for 12 months now.
The Jazz Band is available for performances such as dinners, concerts, awards nights etc.
The Concert Band plays at the public ceremonies, Anzac Day, Remembrance Day, Australia Day etc.
All bands welcome new members, as there is now a standard to suit all players.
The Development Band is an ideal way to start playing with others, or to re-start after a gap from playing.
This band rehearses at 4.30pm on Mondays at the TAFE Campus, followed by the Concert Band at 5.30pm and the Jazz Band at 6.30.
All players are made welcome.

The Festivals Australia program round 34 is now open.
Festivals Australia is an Australian Government program which provides funding for innovative arts projects at regional and remote community festivals. The program supports new projects which add to the quality and diversity of the arts and cultural programming of festivals.
Festivals provide important opportunities for communities to come together to celebrate and share in artistic and cultural experiences. They also bring economic and social benefits to regions by attracting tourists and stimulating local business.
The Festivals Australia funding round 34 closes on Friday 10 February 2012, for festivals and projects beginning after 1 July 2012.
Guidelines, application forms and information on past projects are available at:
