25.01.2022 Never mind the King of Rock in the front, look our trumpets have duplicated But seriously, if you're wondering what Kim is up to, he's channeling his inner Gaga....more clues to come!

24.01.2022 Sunday afternoon open rehearsal

24.01.2022 Another great workshop today. It was a super special one because we had some familiar faces join us again after a few months apart. Looking forward to some extended rehearsals through the Christmas period. Watch this space for updates on the December / January rehearsal dates.

22.01.2022 Tonight’s rehearsal (minus the sound cause let’s face it...it’s a working progress!!). Who needs a gym workout when there’s tympani’s to play hey Kim! Doesn’t even know he’s being recorded . But seriously just another example of the awesome talent within SBCO!!

If you'd like to join them (in music), you can download Last Post and Reveille sheet music here: https://musicformateship.org/ Here's music teacher, Matt Phillips ...

17.01.2022 What a wonderful weekend of music! It was so great to spend the last two days learning Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 under the guidance of guest conductor & cellist Gwyn Roberts & Music Director Jo Kennedy. A particular highlight for the weekend was the open rehearsal where we were able to perform parts of the symphony to our audience. We hoped everyone enjoyed it as much as we did! This event was made possible through support from the Regional Arts Development Fund, a Queensland Government and South Burnett Regional Council partnership promoting arts, culture and heritage. We would like to make special mention of the late Jim & June Bourner who among many instruments, also sponsored the Beethoven Symphony No. 5 score for SBCO.
