🎺 Three Generations - One Love of Banding.❤️🎶

This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating something pretty special at Marist Brass — three generations of one family sharing the stage!

At our Winter Concert last week, Nick, Charlie & John all performed, representing three generations of a family united by a love of music and banding. 🎺👏

But these three are just one example of why we say banding is a family affair in Bendigo.

Across Marist Brass, we have siblings, partners, husbands and wives, parents and kids all involved in our band. Sometimes it’s a family tradition passed down through generations, sometimes it’s a shared hobby, and sometimes it’s simply the friendships and connections that make banding feel like family.

And that’s what makes our banding community so special — we don’t just make music together, we make memories together. 🎶

So today, we’re wishing a very happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandads and father figures in our Marist Brass family — and celebrating the wonderful musical traditions being passed from one generation to the next.

Here’s to family, music and many more years of making music together! 🎺❤️

Happy Father’s Day! 👏

🎺 Winter Concert — Senior Band 🎶

A few more moments from our wonderful Brass: Winter Concert — this time featuring our fantastic Senior Band! 👏🎺

🎶 JUST TWO WEEKS TO GO! 🎶

We’re counting down to our Marist Brass: Kids' Concert 🥳🎺

Last night our Academy students were hard at work rehearsing a brand-new piece especially for the concert — and we’re pretty excited to share it with you! 👀🎶

Our Academy B cornet players (pictured) have even more reason to be excited! They were recently presented with brand-new Schagerl cornets 🎺✨

These beautiful instruments were purchased for the Academy program thanks to funds bequeathed to Marist Brass by the late Len Rainbow, together with the incredible generosity of his family.

We’re so grateful for Len’s lasting contribution to our band and to the next generation of young brass musicians. ❤️

What a fantastic afternoon of music at our Marist Brass: Winter Concert yesterday! 🎶

Our Marist Brass Academy students did an amazing job, with a special shout-out to everyone who performed on stage for the very first time! 👏 We’re so proud of you!

All three of our Academy groups performed, with highlights including:

🎵 Academy A & B delighted everyone with the audience favourite Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

🎵 Academy C performed The Policeman’s Lot from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, featuring our fantastic trombone section.

Our Senior Band then wowed the audience with a fantastic variety of tunes, with some standout moments including:

⭐ Share My Yoke — cornet soloist Alex Cameron
⭐ Under the Boardwalk — flugel soloist Mark Thompson
⭐ Black & Blue - saxophone soloist Allan Pennings

A huge thank you to St Mary’s Anglican Church Kangaroo Flat, for generously hosting our concert in such a beautiful setting. ⛪

We’d also like to thank all the wonderful people who helped behind the scenes — setting up, packing up, serving coffee and cake, and making sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t do it without you! ☕🍰👏

And, of course, a huge thank you to our Musical Director, Colin Wellard for all his hard work preparing the band for the concert. 🎶🎺

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported our musicians. ❤️

And if you missed us yesterday, don’t worry — Marist Brass will be performing at Bendigo Library on Saturday 12 September for our annual Marist Brass: Kids' Concert. We’d love to see you there… 🪊
