Greeting ready for Nationals 2019

2019 is a huge year for the Auxiliary Band - the first time in more than six years that the band will play at the nationals!  We are entered in the D Grade competition and practicing frantically to get our tunes all ready to wow the adjudicator and the audience.

We recently had a band rehearsal weekend and sectionals with a guest conductor Mason Elliot to get ourselves up to speed. Here are a few pictures... Tunes are not allowed to be shown because the adjudicators are going to find out on the day... shhh it's all a big secret!! :)

Break time is always a good time

Band always has a good support crew watching on the sideline - family and friends.

The flyers are out - all the websites and Facebook pages are advertising the band contest... now all we can do is wait and see...
