Latest News

Hello and welcome to another addition of Con Brio Online (The Latest News for the City of Burnie Brass Band). As usual this page endeavours to keep you up to date with the latest goings on with the band, so be sure to check it out now and again to make sure you are up to date. In addition Band Members should check out the White boards in the band room for upcoming playouts and events.

The band has started this year with a flurry of activity. We resumed practice on January 18 and were required to play at a Queensland Flood Victim Charity Concert on January 22 and the Australia Day Service on January 26 (both at the Burnie Arts and Function Centre). We are now practicing music for the Easter National Band Championships which get under way in Adelaide on April 22. More information about the championships and other things will be coming soon.
