Our rehearsal venue has been cleaned out just in time to allow some serious improvement as we prepare for the upcoming WABA State Championships in Bunbury.  Our own-choice pieces are sounding as sharp as knives and even the test piece, the cause of much heated debate, is starting to sound how its composer probably intended.  Some parts are even, according to our esteemed MD, “better than I thought we’d be able to get it”.  Will the band’s combined creativity be enough to pull together an entertainment piece to bring the house down?

Congratulations and a huge thank-you to all our committee members after last week’s AGM.  It’s great to see a few new faces step up and get involved in the running of the band.  We promise it’s less painful than the running of the bulls…

A new-look committee poses so many exciting questions.  Will the vice president be on time for committee meetings now?  Will the new band sergeant be more effective than the old one?  And where did the old fundraising officer go???  Only time will tell, but it should be fun finding out.

Band members are encouraged to come along to the WA Band Association’s quiz night on the evening of Saturday Feb 22nd. This will be a great chance to mix with members from other community bands. Last year’s quiz was a lot of fun and most local bands had one or two tables taking part. We need a crack team of PCB quizzers to do us proud!
Anyone interested in coming along should email Graham.

Happy new year to everyone who came along to kickstart 2014 at our first rehearsal last night.  It was great to see everyone again after the break.

Welcome back and a huge congratulations to Anne, who we haven’t seen for a while.  And welcome to the three new players – can you believe we’ll have two bass clarinets now???

Thanks to Transperth poster-boy Paul for conducting.

Are you thinking of starting a new hobby in 2014?  Did you play percussion at school but haven’t hit anything for ages?  We’re hoping to expand our percussion section so please contact us and come along to a few rehearsals.

Welcome to 2014.  Rehearsals begin on Jan 21st.
