25.01.2022 Some of our crew had a great morning playing tunes at the Aussie World Salvation Army Family Fun Day So good to have such a bunch of our younger players getting involved and doing well!
23.01.2022 Our second gig on Saturday was also our second gig at Aussie World for the week. This time it was during their 'Christmas Spectacular' event
23.01.2022 We’re glad to share some images of the ANZAC commemorations that Nambour Band was able to participate in this year: at Edgewater Bli Bli, Woombye and Mapleton. It was also wonderful to see Eric Dumschat honoured with a vintage car ride at Mapleton. Eric played Eb bass in the Nambour band and served in WW2. He also celebrated his 100th birthday last year!
22.01.2022 VIRTUAL BAND ROUND TWO We can’t believe what a fantastic response we have had to our first VIRTUAL BAND STAR LAKE. We have been overwhelmed with comments a...nd messages, which we are really grateful for. So, in response to the popular demand, we are going for round two, and this time we are aiming for bigger and better! The piece we have chosen is Goldcrest, following the theme of classic SA marches. Here is what you need to do: 1. Head over to https://samusicindex.com/brass/goldcrest/9601 and purchase your part for just 1 using voucher code ‘VIRTUALBAND’ 2. Download a metronome app, set it to 132bpm and plug in your earphones so you can keep time (This is very important!) - Here is an option: https://www.google.com/search?q=metronome 3. Record yourself playing your part (video and audio) and send it to us on one of our social pages. We suggest using wetransfer.com to transfer your video file. 4.

21.01.2022 VIRTUAL BAND These are unusual times, and many people around the world are adapting to a new way of life, including worship services and group rehearsals being ...cancelled. This means that many of us have missed out on our weekly band practices, and although nobody has told us (yet) not to practice on our own whilst in self isolation, it just isn't quite the same playing without others. Therefore, we are on a mission to create a virtual band, and we need you to take part! We have selected the piece 'Star Lake'. All parts of this piece are available for just 1 each this week on SA Music Index using voucher code VIRTUALBAND. Here is what to do: 1. Go and grab your part from your filing cabinet or from here - https://samusicindex.com/brass/star-lake/9578 2. Download a metronome app, set it to 126bpm and plug in your earphones so you can keep time (This is very important!) - Here is an option: https://www.google.com/search?q=metronome 3. Record yourself playing your part (video and audio) and send it to us on one of our social pages. We will cut it all together and post the result! The deadline for submissions is Monday 6th April.
20.01.2022 MANDATORY ISOLATION !
19.01.2022 Ron has shared a little video of his Anzac Day commemoration this morning too
19.01.2022 The small ensemble who played carols at Diamond Valley Lodge this afternoon had a wonderful time with lots of fun and smiles! It's always great to hang out at DVL! Thanks so much for having us!
19.01.2022 Some of our bandspeople added to this year’s Anzac Day commemorations by playing from their own driveways for their local community. We hope to share a few throughout the day. First up is Matt
17.01.2022 Derek joined with the Saunders family where they also included the ode, hymns, national anthem and a flame of remembrance to their Anzac Day driveway service.
16.01.2022 We had two gigs yesterday: the first was a small ensemble with the residents at Diamond Valley Lodge. It's always been a fun and relaxed time at DVL - lots of laughs, singing and even saws!
16.01.2022 At 6am on ANZAC Day musicians everywhere are being called on to take to their front yards to play the Last Post. A grassroots campaign for Australians to comme...morate Anzac Day at dawn in their driveways is gathering momentum across the country. With traditional services and marches cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, RSL branches in every state have unanimously endorsed the gesture, with families across the nation expected to stand at their gates, on balconies or verandahs at 6am on Saturday April 25. Please join us and the rest of Australia in this special moment to remember all those who have served and sacrificed for this nation. We may not be able to stand together as we usually would, but we can still stand united in spirit. Anyone interested should download the sheet music, start practising and notify their neighbourhood via a letterbox drop. http://musicformateship.org/ #MusicforMateship #ANZACDAY #drivewaytribute #lastpost #Minutesilence #COVID19 #isolatedbutunited
14.01.2022 Ryan commemorated Anzac Day from his driveway (his Air Cadets uniform makes us wonder if there’s an opportunity for The Salvation Air Force?)
13.01.2022 Our last event on Sunday was joining with Caloundra Salvos for their Carols by Candlelight. A lovely evening!
12.01.2022 In other circumstances, I would be out with the MSB today. I miss being able to play in band right now, especially my own corps band at South Barwon. So here I ...am, playing with the quintuplets. This arrangment of Repton using the the words of "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" was made for South Barwon's Church@Home this week. (You can search on YouTube for The Salvation Army South Barwon, virtual service Sundays at 10am) EDIT: I just want to say a big thank you for the comments this video has received, and I'm encouraged greatly by them. I am incredibly blessed by the Lord with music in my life and I share that in every note. May this piece continue to bring blessing.
11.01.2022 Another angle or two from last night at Montville!
11.01.2022 Yesterday, some of our bandspeople played a few sets of carols and Christmas arrangements at the annual Salvation Army @ Aussie World event, for people who have been part of various community assistance programs. It was a nice change to play indoors with AC, rather than outside in the sun! A great morning had by all.
11.01.2022 We're looking forward to playing out at Maleny Christmas Festival tomorrow evening - there may be a little more social distancing than in the pre-Covid promo photo!
10.01.2022 Carols on the Green is still going ahead this Wednesday (16 December) from 7.00-8.00pm. The Salvation Army will be playing all your favourite Carols. If the r...ain is still apouring down, the event will be moved to the Village Hall. Come and sing your heart out - it might scare the rain away :) See more
10.01.2022 One of our bandspeople has also taken part in an iso-project for Anzac Day with RBB - Abide with Me.
08.01.2022 THE BEST BAND CARTOON EVER ..... it's the one I would have loved to draw.
08.01.2022 After our Sunday morning corps carol service, this small ensemble had a wonderful afternoon playing carols at Hibiscus Retirement Village
07.01.2022 We had a wonderful time taking part in the Montville Carols on the Green last night. A great crowd, lots of younger bandspeople and Just Brassies, a lovely evening and lots of Christmas cheer and smiles
06.01.2022 Tonight we took part in the Maleny carols, a part of the community Christmas festival and Street Carnival! Here we are during our pre-carols set before some more Just Brass reinforcements arrived
06.01.2022 This month, Nambour Just Brass is one of the 'local matters' options at Grill'd Sunshine Plaza. For every burger sold, a person gets a token, which then can be... put in one of the three local matters jars. The jar with the most tokens at the end of the month receives a $300 donation... So, if you're at Sunshine Plaza and feel peckish - Grill'd would be a useful option for Nambour Just Brass this month! Feel free to share the word!! See more
05.01.2022 We are extremely excited to be sharing with you, the result of our VIRTUAL BAND! 82 participants, 12 countries, and many hours of work to pull it all together -... we hope you like the result. A massive thank you to our good friend Peter Haskew for pulling this all together for us, and a big thank you too, to all those who have participated. It is amazing to see so many people from all over the world all taking part in this. Let us know what you think about our VIRTUAL BAND in the comments!
05.01.2022 We also had a wonderful Just Brass concert this week - so good to see and hear them all doing so well!
04.01.2022 It's been great that three of our Nambour crew have taken part in three different Revelation Big Band gigs this weekend. Always great to support and share in ministry with RBB!
03.01.2022 Our Christmas Eve caroling included visiting corps folk. First we played for Eric and other residents at Sundale - Eric recently turned 100 and used to play in the corps band! We then visited Burnside and played for Val and other neighbours in the area. It was a really nice way to conclude our caroling engagements in the lead up to Christmas. A huge thanks to all who supported and took part in all the events this year!
03.01.2022 Just a few more photos to share from ANZAC day commemorations (Woombye dawn service and Mapleton march)
