This term will see the first major concert performance of the entire Blue Mountains Concert Band for several years. The Music 43 concert on September 4 at Springwood Civic Centre will showcase the talent of a sensational 70-piece band made up of our Mountains Youth Band instrumentalists plus our adult concert band. 

It’s sure to be a wonderful show and will feature a varied program including show tunes and ballads and the band accompanying a 20-piece vocal ensemble performing a medley of Richard Rodgers songs. The talented Blue Mountains Jazz Ensemble will also be a major feature of the concert and there will  be some other surprises in store! The planning for the show is well underway and now is the time to tell your family and friends to come along and support a worthy cause. The concert is being organised by the charitable organisation Music 43, and proceeds of the concert will support Freedom Across Australia which provides low cost tours for people with disability. 

This term we welcome and congratulate Aidan Mayrhofer (pictured), who has joined Mountains Youth Band as the winner of the band’s instrumental scholarship in F Horn. The new double F horn was donated by Kurt Jacob and Co. with tuition support for the scholarship provided through fundraising from friends of Mountains Youth Band.
