Glenorchy City Brass Inc. Glenorchy City Brass Inc is a community brass band organisation based in the city of Glenorchy, TAS. The Glenorchy City Brass Inc.

has been entertaining the people of southern Tasmania continuously for more than 60 years and until 1979, operated out of Hobart as the Returned Services Memorial Band. In 1983 the band had to vacate its rehearsal rooms in the old Treasury building on the corner of Davey and Murray Streets. Without a home, and with a sponsorship arrangement coming to an end, the band was in a desperate situation and on the verge of winding up. The Glenorchy City Council decided it was time for their city to have a band and adopted the ensemble as its own in 1984, providing rehearsal facilities, an annual grant and assisting with uniforms. The name of the band was amended to reflect its new home, and the Glenorchy City Concert Brass was born. In 2021, the organisation became incorporated in its own right, keeping strong ties with the council and underwent the name change to Glenorchy City Brass Inc. currently has two ensembles; the Glenorchy City Community Brass, a C grade band and the Glenorchy City Concert Brass, an A grade band. Both ensembles regularly compete in State and National competitions and usually hold several performances each year.

Congratulations to three of our members who participated in the open instrumental concerto section in the City of Hobart Eisteddfod this evening. All three played beautifully resulting in a battle of the trumpets for the top three places in the section. After much deliberation, Aavi was awarded first place with Zachary in second and Carla in third. Well done to all three of you!

This is the thirtieth year that Noel Hunt has played the last post at the Lenah Valley ANZAC Day service. What an incredible contribution!

It was lovely to commemorate the day at Lenah Valley again this morning and pay respects to all who have fought for and died for our country. Lest we forget.
