Rocky City Band Celebrating 150 years!

Rockhampton City Band Inc is celebrating 150 years of making music in Rockhampton.

We would like to invite our current and former band members, families, and friends to help us celebrate this musical milestone.

We will have some laughs, light refreshments … and even a bit of music!

When?
6:30-8pm, Monday 30 October 2023

Where?
Our Rockhampton City Band Hall – Fred Fox Hall –1 Gladstone Road(corner of William Street), Rockhampton

Why the party?
This year, Rockhampton City Brass Band Incorporated (known as Rockhampton City Band) celebrates 150 years of bringing instrumental music to the local Rockhampton community and wider Capricorn Coast region.

This is a significant achievement for any instrumental ensemble, and even more significant for our relatively small organisation and our 25 members.

Who are we?
We are teachers, students, nurses, paramedics, public servants, hospitality staff, retirees and even a Church Minister. We areyoung (and not so young) adults who share a love of playing and sharing our music. Some of us picked up our instruments as adults; some have been playing since school–and we’re always welcoming new players to our merry band of music makers.

From the military brass band roots through to the community concert band we are today, we are proud of our longevity and look forward to many more music-filled years ahead.
Thank you to the Rockhampton City Council CAP Grant program for supporting our celebration.
