"Dubbo College Band - It's Cool!"
Playing in either the Dubbo College Concert Band or JamPacked Jazz Band is a great way to have fun, mix with friends and play in interesting places. Like the times when the Band plays for the Dubbo Jazz Festival at the RSL or outdoors at Coolah Tops or indoors at the Mother's Day concert for Legacy. Recently the Concert Band played in the newly refurbished concert hall of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
The Concert Band and JamPacked are well known around the district not only for their standards of excellence but variety of repertoire and willingness to participate in a range of community activites, such as the opening of Dubbo's newly created Japanese Gardens or fund raising concerts for the Rural Fire Brigade at the Race Course and Guide-Dog Associtation at the Zoo.
The Dubbo College Concert Band and individual campus junior bands are a fantastic way of developing and promoting teamwork and social interaction skills. As a vehicle for training musicianship, developing self-confidence and the honing of performance psychology skills, students learn the rigours and discipline of regular practice and concert appearances.
