Victorian Youth Band Festival

Hyde Street Youth Band and our fabulous Brass Class with Hyde Street Junior Band members joined with youth from across Regional Victoria and Melbourne at the 2024 Victorian Youth Band Festival brought by Skunkworks Community, with Victorian State Youth Brass Band and youth bands from Warragul Municipal Band, Marist Brass Band Youth from Bendigo, Dandenong Brass, and members of Wonthaggi Youth Brass!

And our young players were inspired and motivated by workshops with some of Victoria’s foremost brass musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra:
– Owen Morris (trumpet)
– Richard Shirley (trombone)
– Abbey Edlin (Horn)
– Tim Buzbee (Tuba)
And members of the Australian Airforce Band
– James Blackman (Euphonium) and
And Campbell Phillips (D2)

What an opportunity for young musicians to meet together, play together and learn together!
