November 2024 update:
​
We can now announce that our special guest for our upcoming Christmas Classics @ The Chateau concert will be the much-loved Andrew Crispe. The performance is Sunday 24th November 2:30pm, so remember to book your tickets. Tickets purchased online will go into the draw to win a mystery bottle of wine. See the tickets section on our website for the 3 ticket purchase options. Don't forget to follow our social media so you can receive updates. This yearly event always showcases the high standard and breadth of musical repertoire this ensemble is capable of playing. After two competitions this year, we are in good playing form so this should be a cracker for sure!
​
​This month some of our cornet players will be participating in various Remembrance Day ceremonies. This is a huge honour to be able to play such a moving/emotional piece of music filled full of meaning. It is also quite a challenge to be a soloist in front of what is often a big audience.
​
Last month the Tanunda Band Academy played a series of Flash Mob performances around the Barossa including Tanunda Info Centre, Tanunda Foodland, Nuriootpa Linear Park, Barossa Central, Angaston Main Street. They had a great time and enjoyed the team building experience. It almost reminded us of a mini version of Whit Friday, racing around in a bus and getting as many performances done as possible. Thanks go to Gawler Passenger Services for the free use of the Mini Bus.
​
We are excited to again be involved in the Yalumba Christmas Carols Tuesday 17th December. We will be sharing the stage with Philippa Lynas, GOSPO Collective and many more talented locals. Our expert music arrangers are hard at work writing new versions of Christmas tunes for your enjoyment. We can't wait to collaborate with the other artist to create Christmas Magic for all (especially the kids, well and the big kids too)! Don't forget your picnic rugs etc.
​
Other festive activities we are included in are:
​
Sat 30th Nov - Salisbury Christmas Parade
Fri 6th Dec - Tanunda Christmas Parade
​
Some of our members are hard at work with a new concept for us, so stayed tuned for an announcement hopefully soon!
​
On that bombshell, we'll see you at a gig soon.
