With
over forty musicians at present, we perform regularly in the Holdfast
Bay district and in other areas as occasions arise. Our repertoire embraces
many styles of music including Classical, Jazz, Swing, Latin and works from film and musical productions. The City
of Holdfast Bay Concert Band also made its debut as a marching band in
May 2009 as part of the Moonta Cornish Festival, so keep an eye out for
us in local pageants this Christmas! Latest News The
City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band is trying new things to attract and
encourage a wider audience by introducing a series of School Holiday
Concerts for school children. So if you have any children who show an
interest in music (or are just looking for a fun time listening and
interacting to their favourite songs) then look out for us! The School
Holiday Series starts in April at the Marion Cultural Centre, then goes
to Woodcroft College in July, and finishes at Flagstaff Hill in October.
Every concert is guaranteed to be loads of fun for everyone! Meet the
band and learn about the different instruments and the sounds they make.

will take them. Welcome Amy! On Easter
Sunday 2011 (April 24th), the City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band once again
competed in the National Band Championships, held in Elder Hall, Adelaide,
under the new direction of Maria Foot. The band played extremely well and
received a score to be proud of, taking out the title for Open C Grade!
The band's score was 468.5 out of 500 and are very proud of their
accomplishments. The band is hoping to compete again in the Nationals next
year, which will be held in Victoria. During Easter 2010, the City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band appeared in National Competition for the first time in over 15 years! The band competed in Open C Grade for concert bands. The Australian National Band Championships was held in Hobart, Tasmania. After a lot of hard work and many hours preparing for this competition, the band had it's hopes up as we travelled across to Tasmania. The hard work definitely payed off - the band played in fine form and were announced the Runner-Up for Open C Grade! Well done guys!
