Let’s Hear More From The Band

Have you ever thought about joining the Parkes Shire Concert Band? Did you know that playing community music leads to plenty of opportunities to play with others? Members of the Parkes Shire Concert Band (PSCB) recently played in the fantastic Sister Act musical with the Parkes M&D Society, and they look forward to the opportunity to play in more shows.

Next up for the band members is the Combined Riverina Bands Regional workshops and concerts. Also coming up on the calendar, the Griffith District Band will host the Kapooka Army Band workshop and concert on 22 August. The West Wyalong band will host Conductors from the Riverina Conservatorium workshop on 12 September and the Leeton Outback Band Spectacular will be on 7 – 8 November.

The PSCB will be performing at the Parkes Homegrown markets and workshops on 12 September. They will also be performing alongside other musical acts at a new community event, Connect the Dots on 26 September in a wonderful show of community connection.

This Sunday 26 July PSCB legend band muso Doug Richards and others will play a few numbers at EJs. Come along for an afternoon of amazing local talent at the Open Mic, 2pm at the Coachman Hotel.

If you used to play an instrument or wish to learn an instrument, there are many opportunities to be involved with others and play live music. Whether it be brass, strings, percussion, woodwind or even the sax, Parkes Shire Concert Band can teach and hire out instruments.

Head along to rehearsals and join in, every Tuesday during school term above Pool Complex 7-9pm. Parkes Shire Concert Band is keeping community music playing.
