What a FANTASTIC day at the Rotary International conference in Bendigo!
The Victorian State Youth Brass Band performed to a very receptive audience at Ulumbarra Theatre and then popped on over to Rosalind Park, for an outdoor concert for the conference participants.
VSYBB congratulates our members who competed in the Australian National Championships who through their hard work, dedication and with great courage, entered into both Junior and Open sections at the 2024 Australian National Band Championships. We're proud of every one of you!
