22.01.2022 We absolutely LOVE hearing from the community after performances, especially from other amazing singers and musicians who perform with us. Wendy, our Musical Director, received these lovely emails from two of the singers from last Sunday's Carols by Candlelight. Alana sung a beautiful rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", and Kurt's performance of "O Holy Night" was incredibly moving. Thank you both for taking the time to thank us, we are thrilled to share the love of music with Bathurst and look forward to what 2020 brings us!
21.01.2022 Fantastic rendition of The Weight by the Performing Arts Academy students at Scots All Saints Collage - featuring one of our members on Sax!
21.01.2022 2020 has brought a very different ANZAC Day for us all. This is the first time the Bathurst City & RSL Concert Band has not physically performed at an ANZAC service in over 50 years, but we still commemorate the service men and women who served and sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. Lest We Forget. Hymn: O God, Our Help in Ages Past
