2012 State Youth Concert Band
Dear Bands,
As you are aware, the Band Association of NSW is establishing a 2012 State Youth Concert Band. The ensemble will involve an intensive 5 day camp in the July school holidays and a NSW regional tour in the September holidays under Musical Director, James Brice.
At this stage we have 37 applications. Whilst this indicates a significant skill base we are calling for more young musicians to apply on Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, French Horn and Percussion. Surprisingly there are also additional vacancies in the Trumpet and Trombone sections, which we are certainly looking to fill.
Can you please promote this opportunity to your young players. I have attached further information and application forms and we will continue to accept nominations until February 15th.
