The Lone Ar-Ranger
Here we go folks, although this is not a concert Band arrangement, it is essentially the same. There is a lot of little intricacies we still need to work on. I hope this helps out with your home rehearsals.
Welcome to 2010
ADDITIONAL
Time has been confirmed for an 11:00 start. we will need to be there about 10:30, which puts us on first, so we will need to set up stands and seats etc.
Hi all,
I trust that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year however you may choose to celebrate these occasions.
End of 2009
Well, hasn't the time just flown by? This week will see the final Bendigo & District Concert Band events for the year 2009. The first is: The Kennington Carols. This is the second year we have done this event, however, it is still really a play it by ear situation. Many of you may be lucky to have members of my school band sit in with you. If this is the case, try and be patient, and helpful.
Pottery Carols change
We have just had information about a change of venue for the Epsom Carols Service this Thursday evening. The Pottery is unavailable, and so we are being moved to the village green in Epsom. I am led to believe this is near/close to the new Epsom shopping centre. We are led to believe there will be people at the pottery passing on new directions to patrons and performers.
BDCB Welcomes Catholic College
Last Thursday night, we were lucky to have many additional people attending the rehearsal. These were all students and members of the Catholic College Music Programme, along with their teachers Mr. Stephen Briggs and Mark Law. This was predominately a come and try night for these students, however I hope to see them coming along regularly.

A Touch of Christmas: Suite 1
Embraceable You
But Not for Me
Firebird Suite
