Bathurst City & RSL Band Association

Bathurst City & RSL Band Association Bringing music to the Bathurst Community and surrounds - message us today to join! We have built a strong reputation throughout the region and beyond.

The Bathurst City & RSL Band Association proudly celebrates a 140-year history, serving the region with a diverse range of musical styles through three distinct bands. Our main showcase band performs at key community events, including ANZAC Day, Proclamation Day, Australia Day, and Remembrance Day, as well as charity functions like fetes, market days, and even dinner entertainment. We also feature

a youth band that showcases talented young musicians from local schools, providing them with invaluable performance experience. The Chifley Band, while still in its early stages, is a fun opportunity for those looking to reconnect with their musical passion—perfect for individuals with past experience who want to dive back into playing music in a supportive and relaxed environment. The bands play a significant role in Bathurst's cultural life, regularly performing at events such as the Twilight Concert at Brucedale for the Bathurst Arts Council, the Spring Spectacular in local gardens, Bathurst's own Carols by Candlelight, the Traditional Night Before Christmas at Miss Traill’s House and Ironfest in Lithgow. While we cater to Bathurst's discerning music audiences, we also provide promising young musicians with valuable exposure to quality repertoire. Our existence relies on the support of the Bathurst RSL Sub-Branch and the Bathurst Regional Council, to whom we are deeply grateful. We are a friendly music community with members from Bathurst, Lithgow, and Orange, and we invite musicians of all ages and abilities to join us.
