Hope you’re well! Sharing a few updates as we wrap up the program and welcome in the new committee!
Concert Details
Our upcoming concert, Cinematic Symphony, will be held on Sunday 24th November starting at 1pm. NSWS members please arrive by 12pm, percussion and committee members please arrive by 11:45am. The dress code is costumes / dress-up! Can’t wait to see all of the great outfits, and seeing you all get your Elsa on! Andrew – looking at you, or maybe you’re a better Anna from Frozen?
We’ll be playing James Bond, Frozen, Home Alone, Jurassic Park and ET, all accommodated by videos.
Please share the tickets with your friends and family and encourage them to pre-purchase – available here. These concerts make a huge difference to our fundraising efforts for the year so all tickets sales are greatly appreciated. Under 16s are also free at this concert. Please also register them via trybooking so we can account for numbers.
We have also booked the Blue Gum for a post concert celebration. For those attending Con Ball – enjoy!
Fees – I’ll keep this short – if yours are outstanding please settle by Sunday.
2024 Wrap-up
We had a fantastic year with three programs – The Con Concert, States, and now our end of year community concert. I know I speak on behalf of the entire 2024 committee, we’re extremely proud how all of these came together. A huge thank you to Andrew for all of your work and direction. We have such a fantastic band and a great community culture full of so many friendships.
Thank you to the 2024 Committee – Adrienne, Amy, Angus, Bronte, El, Hugo, Linda, and Warwick. You have all been incredible, kind, and hard working. I loved working with you all and know that the band greatly appreciates all of your work behind the scenes.
As you may have noticed, I haven’t been around at rehearsals lately with moving cross city, a new puppy, and a big job so I will not be continuing as Band Manager for 2025, but have some exciting announcements for the 2025 Committee with some new and returning faces!
