We also had a visiting musician, Steve William, from Sutherland Band. Steve was working in Parkes for a brief time, and contacted us by our Facebook page.

We welcome new members any time, even if you played years ago and feel a little out of practise, please don't allow that to stop you. Come along and we will help you get back in the rhythm again.
