Anzac Day 2012
Cathy got a special mention in the Queanbeyan Age for her bugling at the Anzac Day service this year. http://www.queanbeyanage.com.au/news/local/news/general/queanbeyan-residents-turn-out-for-anzac-day/2536912.aspx?storypage=2
2012 National Band Championships – Results
Unfortunately, we didn’t come away from the 2012 National Band Championships with a win. 
We are however very pleased with our performance and can’t wait to sock it to ‘em next time!
We are now concentrating on Anzac Day and the National Eisteddford. See the Events page for more information.
2012 National Band Championships
We are just three very short days away from our first event at the 2012 National Band Championships.
HVBB competes in B Grade, and if you happen to be in Melbourne this Easter, why not pop in and give us some support? The event is being held at the Sebel Albert Park hotel.
We are on stage:
Friday 6 April, 5.30pm (playing the hymn and test)
Saturday 7 April, 11.15am near Luna Park for the Street March
Saturday 7 April, 10.05pm (playing our own choice and stage march)
Wish us luck!!!!!
Hall Twilight Concert
We had a wonderful afternoon in Hall last Sunday, with beautiful weather, an appreciative crowd, and some great music.
Our own Victoria Street Brass opened the afternoon’s entertainment with some rousing marches, inspiring Australian music and even a solo from Sue (well done Sue!).
Hall Village Brass were accompanied by the lovely Bronwyn Douglass who entertained with many songs, including the Habanera from Carmen.
Tonight’s the Night!
We’re off to Hall this afternoon for our Twilight concert. This might just be your last opportunity to see an outdoor concert before the weather gets too cold. It will still be a good idea to bring a jumper tonight!
Hope to see you there.
A Little Twilight Music
The band will be playing our next concert at Hall on the 25th of March – A Little Twilight Music - from 5pm.
This year is our fourth Twilight Concert at Hall, and we will feature local soloist Bronwyn Douglass as well as popular songs, jazz classics, contemporary marches, show songs and art music.
Bring a rug or chair, a chicken sandwich and a drink, and the neighbours, and just relax and enjoy the music.
Free entry, with a gold coin donation requested.
Food and drinks can be purchased from a stall on the day, thanks to the Preschool Parents.
The band thanks the generosity of the event sponsor – Barnett, Lilley and Associates, Financial Consultants, Hall.
Hope to see you there! (For more info and a map, please see the Events page.)
Back in 2012
We’ve come to the end of a busy banding year and now it’s time for us to take a well-earned break.
Not too much of a break though as we’ll all be madly rehearsing our parts for the Nationals next year! (We don’t want to see Viv get cross!!!)
Our first public appearance for 2012 looks like being the Hall concert on the 25th of March. It’s a bring-a-chair-and-a-roast-chook kind of thing, so we hope to see you there!
Merry Christmas and all the best for a prosperous New Year,
From all of us at HVBB & VSBB.
10 December 2011
We had a busy day yesterday with a wedding in the morning and carols in the evening!
We hope that Stacey and Jake appreciated the music we were able to provide them for their wedding – we had a great time!
The Hall community carols event was fun as usual. Thankfully the mozzies saved their run until the end!
(And there were more people in the audience than just this one, I promise!)
Jerra Carols
We had a great time at the Jerra Carols tonight. We appreciate the good weather!
