An amazing weekend of music, connections, career prospects and new levels of skills unlocked - aka improv soloing! Congrats to for an amazing QREP weekend; CSYCB felt privileged to be a part of it and watching our players absolutely crush it on stage in their ensembles was such a privilege for us.

Also, a huge thank you to Saints for the hospitality of hosting us, and the 1RAR for their generous expertise, advice, great chats and exceptional playing; what a treat to see such a classy band in action 🎶

Hi families and members, due to the unforeseen clash with Fanfare competitions this upcoming weekend, the scheduled CSYCB Performance at Event Cinemas Cairns Central 2:15pm has been postponed to the weekend of 6/6/2026.

Our friends at the CQU Conservatorium of Music are once again hosting a Jazz-influenced workshop and ensemble (stage band style) weekend, culminating in a free showcase concert for families. This event is comparable to SHEP and is centred around contemporary music practices.

Details:
May 30-31st, held at St Augustine’s College, 8:30-4pm both days.

Entry is open to students Yr 9 and above, $165 total cost (although please let us know if we can help with this if it will be a restrictive factor) and nominations must be in by this Wednesday’s band rehearsal - please see us in the break or after rehearsal to sort out the nomination, if you’re keen.

Miss Trotter and Miss Mira will be in attendance at the workshop to support CSYCB members and it looks like a great experience and perfect for our kids so get in quick 🎶🤩
