Burdekin Brass Band Congratulates Young Musicians

The Burdekin Brass Band extends its congratulations to Cecilia Cason and Joe Mau, who have recently returned from the 2025 Queensland Band Association Youth Music Camp in Brisbane.

At the camp, Cecilia was selected to perform as Solo Horn, while Joe played E Flat Bass. The event provided both musicians with the opportunity to explore a diverse range of musical styles under the guidance of some of the country's finest conductors. Additionally, they participated in specialised workshops led by expert tutors, enhancing their individual playing skills. The experience proved invaluable for both players, and the band eagerly anticipates them sharing their newfound knowledge in the coming weeks.

Burdekin Brass expresses its gratitude to the Regional Arts Development Fund for its financial contribution, which helped offset the costs of attendance for the young musicians.

Following recent floods, Burdekin Brass Band rehearsals will resume on Tuesday nights at 7:30 pm in the Band Hall, located in the park on 10th Avenue, Home Hill. With a busy schedule ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the band.
