The year's activities concluded with Carols in the Neighbourhood and our traditional band break up evening. As is customary, a number of members were presented with awards, and we also said farewells to a number of long term players, including Music Director Veronica Boulton. We wish them well as they continue on their life journeys.
A few well deserved weeks off now during the Christmas and New Year Summer Break!
All the best to those of our youth heading off in mid January to State Youth Brass Camp....... details of concerts around the riverland will be available on the South Australia Band Association website/facebook.
For Marion City Band .... it is BAND CAMP time to start the year off - being held at Aldinga Beach on the Australia Day Long Weekend. There will be a public concert on Monday morning - 27th January .... so look out for further details on this.

With a busy lead up to Christmas, Marion City Band at last count has 14 upcoming engagements over the next 5 weeks!. A slightly crazy time but exciting being out and about at so many community and festive events.
Just a quick recap - last few weeks has included the South Australian Brass Band Solo and Ensemble Competitions, accumulating in a Champion of Champions play off at the 2019 Celebration Dinner and Awards night.
We are proud to report the following:
Champion of Champions Open Brass : Christopher McDonald (Marion City Band)
Champion of Champions Junior Brass : Jayden Doe (Marion City Band)
Well done to other entrants, qualifiers for the Champions event and a big thanks to those volunteering at recent SABA events,
Continuing on into 2020 we are keen to hear from any interested persons that would like to join us!
We have a strong training program in place for those wishing to start their musical journey, or revisit some skills, or just have some fun trying a new instrument, as well as some player vacancies across a range of instruments in both our B Grade and C Grade Bands. Please be in contact with our Presidents, Secretary or Events Co-ordinator if you would like to come along for a rehearsal or two or more! We are particularly keen to hear from experienced Cornet/Trumpet players and percussionists.
