Australian Concert Bands

Hi All

Sutherland PCYC C/B will be holding their end of year concert together with the NSW Police Band on Sunday 25th November from 2pm. This will be held at Port Hacking High School, Miranda. Both the PCYC bands and the police band put on a successful concert last year and all members are looking forward to this years concert. Hope to see you there.

Hey Trumpet Girl!

Good luck with the concert, i hope it goes well for you!

Would love to be there, but its a little bit far to go from Port Macquarie!

I remember we contested against one of your bands a couple of years ago, and they sounded really good!

Make sure you let us know how it goes, and if you get some pics, we'd love to see them!

Should be a good concert.
Sutherland PCYC senior band will be playing some of the following for the concert.

Zehle's Wellington March
David Holsinger's, Liturgical Dances
Bernstein's, Candide Overture
Grainger's, Irish Tune and Sheperd's Hey

I'm not exactly to sure what the Police Band are playing and what the combined numbers will be, but will keep you all posted.

Ahh, Shepards Hey - what a fun tune!

As a horn player I must say I'm not a fan of marches. There's only so many offbeats a person can handle before insanity sets in... But as far as marches go, Washington Grays is one of my favourites.

Ahhh....have you ever heard 633 Squadron???

The horn gets the melody!!

A rare thing indeed. I can't understand why it doesn't happen more often!

If it did, what would us trumpets have to do?!

Good point... You couldn't play in time well enough to do the offbeats.

Yes i can

Off on off on off on off off on....oh damn....lost it

off on off on......................

I agree. Horn is an awesome instrument. Wish I could play one!!

Is it off beats, or off bleats?!?!?!

Spose it all depends on the articulations!

Yes we did 633 Squadren last year as a combined number with the NSW Police Band with me conducting, we had a bout 65 on stage, it sounded bloody awesome.
