Band-O-Mania is back for another year! All band students from across our 7 schools come together and attend a specific session on the day for their band level. 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.
10:00am to 12:00pm – All Training Band Students
12:30pm to 2:30pm – All Concert Band Students
3:00pm to 5:00pm – All Performance Band Students
Each session will be conducted by Matt (in the Hat) Dalziel and includes a combined rehearsal for all students (with a short break in the middle). Then a short concert for parents at the end of each session.
Please aim to arrive 10mins before your allocated group time to assemble and set up. Parents should arrive 15mins prior to the scheduled end time for a short concert at the conclusion of each group. Once the concert has concluded, please assist us by promptly departing the school grounds to allow space for the next group arriving.

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.
