There are no rules. Any band of any size and standard can enter. This is a non-competitive festival with the main aim of providing experience and enjoyment to band members and the public.
Can't field a full band? No worries, if you have essential chairs that need to be filled you may co-opt an adult musician to fill that chair in the spirit that it gives a chance for the younger musicians to perform. The Victorian State Youth Brass Band (VSYBB) will also be on hand if you wish to borrow a young musician to fill a chair. Please let us know in the contact form below if you would like a player from the VSYBB to help fill out your band.
We wish to make this festival accessible to smaller bands just starting out as well as more established bands. For this reason the entry fee will be based on the number of band members. The entry fee is $10 per band member. Your band will be invoiced once you complete the registration form below.

Comprising some of Australia's top brass musicians, Lyrebird Brass is a collective of artists dedicated to performing the finest brass chamber music. The group’s mission is twofold: to engage Australian audiences through exceptional artistry and accessible programming, and to expand repertoire through new commissions with a particular emphasis on Australian music and works by composers from underrepresented demographics. Members have performed across the globe in many of the world's premiere ensembles, each bringing a unique musical background to the troupe . Lyrebird Brass is the first professional Australian brass ensemble to feature women as core members.
