The Australian National Band Championships is an annual four day competition of band and soloist performances that is expected to attract more than 100 community and school brass and concert bands from Australia and abroad.
In 2015 the Championships will recognise the Centenary of Anzac and will feature a Parade of Bands and Commemoration Service that will take place with the support of the Returned Services League (RSL). Close to 50 community bands are expected to participate in the free, public Parade which will be followed by a Commemoration Service and Wreath Laying Ceremony at the ANZAC Memorial, to honour those who have served in the Australian Defence Force.
In tribute of this special occasion, the Band Association of NSW (BANSW) has commissioned eight new major compositions by Australian composers based on the theme of ‘a commemoration and celebration of the Spirit of Anzac’ which will premiere during the Championships.
The 2015 Centenary of ANZAC Australian National Band Championships will be held at the Seymour Centre from Friday 3 April to Monday 6 April, 2015.
