23.01.2022 The very best wishes to our amazing Amelie and friends for their HSC exam tomorrow.

23.01.2022 Musical friends in NSW, I want to let you know there is some hope in our current effort to find a way to resume that which we need to do, to keep healthy and wh...ole. Nearly 20 organisations representing hundreds of thousands of community and professional musician have come together to form RIVMEO - the Roundtable of Instrumental, Vocal and Music Education Organisations. It is my privilege to be the facilitator of this group. The Roundtable represents the band, vocal and orchestral communities, music educators and their students, school and tertiary music education, major arts institutions and instrument repairers. It is the biggest coalition of the music sector ever assembled in NSW and encompasses metropolitan and regional areas. The main aim of the Roundtable is to work collaboratively with each other and the government to find a way that we can all return to singing, playing and learning music together, safely. And there's positive news. We have secured a meeting (scheduled for 14/09) with the NSW Minister for Health, Brad Hazzard, and Chief Heath Officer, Dr Kerry Chant. As well as representing the concerns of so many people about the effect of the current guidelines and restrictions on music, we will be exploring ways that we, as a music community, can play our part in the great public health challenge facing us all, while also returning to the musical activities that sustain the wellbeing of so many people of all ages in NSW. The Roundtable is very grateful to have this opportunity, especially given the unimaginable load carried by these public officials in this pandemic. The voice of our music community is being heard. We understand that the importance of music to community health and wellbeing is well understood and taken seriously in government circles. Some professional arts companies and venues have been able to gain accreditation for COVID plans, and the Roundtable is drawing on their expertise. Some community bands have also been able to resume within the guidelines. These are hopeful signs. However, the lack of uniform application across different regions and local government areas is among the many issues on RIVMEO’s agenda. The task in front of us is not to be underestimated, but we must believe there is a pathway to a better future.

20.01.2022 Thank you to all the members who came along the other night and those who couldn’t but still wished me the best of luck. Your support and praise really means a lot to me at this time. A special mention to Ruth who is so much more than my tutor, John Moran who started me on my journey and has always been there along the way. Barry and Chrissy who I always notice in the audience at eisteddfods and my fellow sax player John Collins. I could go on forever as there are so many others in this loving band that encourage and inspire me. You know who you are so thank you. Love Amelie

18.01.2022 http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/ameliesachs Support Amelie she is cutting all her hair off now on Facebook live. Help her get to her fundraising goal.

16.01.2022 At the most recent Management Committee meeting there was much discussion about the current state of play for bands across NSW. It was very quickly realised tha...t a traditional State Band Championships was just not going to be possible for 2020 due to the Covid19 restrictions. However, we are acutely aware that all of our bands are looking for purpose for rehearsals so we have pivoted the whole event to an Online Festival and we now introduce to you the 2020 NSW State Band Festival Online. Head to our new web page which outlines all the changes. Thanks, BANSW @bandsnsw https://bandnsw.com/2020-nsw-state-band-festival-online/ See more

11.01.2022 Congratulation to Stephen O'Doherty A personal goal has been achieved this weekend, with an original work for Concert Band now available as a printed set (from Engadine Music) or or as digital download on Sheet Music Plus (largest music site in the world). Writing and publishing music was a retirement goal, so hopefully this is the first of many

09.01.2022 Leeton Town Band is continuing to rehearsals. Hello, At this point, balancing all the risk factors prevalent to our area LTB has decided that we will continue with our regular band rehearsal. We remind all members to continue to engage in and demonstrate appropriate hygiene measures. Naturally, if you are suffering from any form of illness or have been in contact with anyone who is or has, then we would expect you to excuse yourself from rehearsal in the usual manner by co...ntacting either Louis or Miranda. We understand that this is an evolving situation, and we may need to review this decision as new evidence comes to light. Stay tuned for further developments.

07.01.2022 Hopefully soon the Band Association will receive an answer.

06.01.2022 We are so proud of Amelie. We are so lucky to have her as such a strong leader of our band.
