Townsville Brass and Percussion Festival (3)
Venue TBC
Townsville Brass, in partnership with BoB, will be holding a third (after 2016 and 2018) Brass Band Workshop and Concert Day on Saturday, June 8, 2019 for brass and percussion players of all levels. A variety of band levels will be available. We expect to offer at least 3 different levels of workshops to cater for the brass students of Townsville, ranging from students and/or adults who have been playing for at least 12 months to students and/or adults with a high level of playing skills.
This is a fantastic opportunity for North Queensland’s brass and percussion students to play together in a non-competitive environment and to be mentored by the members of BoB. It is also an opportunity for students and adults to see what is available in the local community music organisations, and in particular, Townsville Brass.
Stay tuned for more details!
Proudly supported by Townsville Brass, BoB and Brass Music Specialists.
