Training Band-O-Mania 2026

7 Schools All Training Band Students

Band-O-Mania is back for another year! In 2026 we are inviting all Training Band students from across our 7 schools to come together and attend a dedicated session just for Training Band Students. This is a super fun event for the kids (and the Key Music staff!) and gives students the opportunity to rehearse and perform in a large group with students from other schools of the same experience level.

The session will be conducted by Matt (in the Hat) Dalziel and includes a combined rehearsal for all students (short breaks will be provided). Then a concert for families at 4:40pm.

Notice of Photography:

We will be taking some photographs at the event for the purpose of adding to our website, sharing an update of the event in our next newsletter, and potentially for future marketing purposes. As children will be in casual clothes, there will no reference to their specific school, or any identifiable information.
Images taken may be from a distance/ behind the band, in which children will not be able to be individually identified; or may be taken closer / in smaller groups where individual children’s faces can be recognised.


Information for Parents:

The event and concert are free to attend.

Parents are to drop their child off 10mins prior to the event start time.

Parents should return for the concert at 4:40pm. Please ensure that you collect your children promptly and depart the school grounds so the school gates can be locked.

Students will be playing a selection of music including current Band songs and some new songs. New music will be issued at the event. There is no need to prepare anything for this event.

As the event is held inside the school hall, it will not be affected by weather conditions. The event will still be on, regardless of weather on the day.

There is no onsite parking available at the school. Parking is available in the surrounding streets. Due to the large number of people attending, you may need to park a short distance from the school and walk. Please park safely and legally (not blocking driveways). Please be considerate of the local residents. Parking rangers may attend the event to ensure cars are parked correctly.

There are 2 pedestrian entrances to the school (via either Apollo Ave or Tristania Place), and the School Hall is located in the centre of the school grounds:
