Box Hill Academy Brass (BHAB) was established in 2013 as a band for beginner brass students aged 6+.
The main objective of BHAB is to promote ensemble skills, which help to develop collaborative learning and teamwork. Rehearsals present a fun and friendly atmosphere in which new players can learn to play a brass instrument.
All ages and abilities welcome, no previous experience with music is required.
We have junior ensembles who are part of the Box Hill City Band Inc family of brass bands. Both rehearse on a Tuesday during the school term:
4.30pm-5.30pm Beginner group (Beginner to approximately 5th grade AMEB)
5.30pm-6.30pm Intermediate group (Approximately Grade 5/6+ AMEB, by invitation/audition)
BHAB do several community events throughout the year, some of these may include:
Concerts at Box Hill Town Hall with the other bands within the organisation,
School fetes,
Bunnings BBQ busking/small group performances,
Eisteddfods and State/National Championships (some years),
Soirees at the band hall,
Solo performance opportunities,
Collaboration concerts with other community groups.
Come down and have a go! Adults who are learning music are welcome - music is universal to all and at any level.
