Children are able to join the junior band from Year 3 and need no previous experience. Band involvement can benefit children in many different ways. Apart from developing musical ability and performance techniques, children gain valuable social skills by becoming an integral member of an ensemble. 

Professional musicians for the program are employed: two conductors – one for the Junior Band and one for the Senior Band who are excellent musicians in their field.

The bands perform in public places and enter competitions on behalf of the school.

Performances like these provide a great sense of purpose for the band members.
