Brass recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. During the past 40
years, there have been many members that have come and gone, and some
have even come back again over the years. This just goes to show what a
great band we are, and our doors are always open!
Recently
the band organised a ‘Blow In’, encouraging both past and present band
members to come along for a relaxed afternoon of playing fun and
entertaining music. The band also encouraged community members to come
along and pick up an interment and join in the fun. Aspiring conductors
in the band where also encouraged to take the baton and try their hand
at conducting a few pieces as well.
After the success of the first Blow In, Blow In 2 was recently organised and was another roaring success. And after such a great Sunday practising fun music in the band room, what better idea than a
‘Blow Out’ – a free performance at Merrylands Central Gardens, providing an afternoon of free entertainment for the community, and friends and family of the band to come along with a picnic and listen to some great music.
Despite the
earlier rainy weather on the day, the performance was a huge success!
The Blow In series is only going to get bigger and better, so stay tuned
to find out when the next one will be!
