2009 has been a excellent year in our development.
Our major activity for 2009 was our
fundraising concert for the Qld. flood and the Vic. fire appeals. With
performances also by The Wynnum RSL Pipe Band,
Trend Dance Academy
and Dance Works, we raised $800.00 for these appeals.
2009
saw the adoption of the new logo and the new polo shirts We have followed
the tradition established by the Queensland Mounted Infantry (originally in
1860, The Brisbane Mounted Rifles as part of the then Queensland Light
Horse) of using the colour Maroon to represent our Queensland home.
We
successfully applied to the Queensland Band Association for the right to be
the nominated organizer of the 2010 Qld State Band Championship competition.
Congratulations to Henk for his efforts and now continuing efforts.
See Gold Coast Bandfest for

By
far our greatest achievement was getting our youth band started in June. We
chose a name inspired by the Northern Territory's Combined Schools' Band.
Our Brisbane "Bayside Combined
Schools' Band" is 93% all primary school students and has attracted
members form the Gold Coast and Ipswich. The band has already provided
creditable performances to our community.
In
September our Drum Corps made its first appearance which was at the
Wynnum Spring Festival
Parade.

Our
logo: The centrepiece is a symbol of our recognition, appreciation and
affiliation with civilian community musicians throughout all Commonwealth
nations. Above this are two swords which symbolise our band's rich and
historic military heritage. Below is a boomerang which displays our
recognition and appreciation of Australia's First Nations' peoples.
Indigenous Australians played a vital role in our nation's military history
and continue to do so, both in our military and throughout society. Whilst
the band operates throughout Queensland, Australia and internationally, we
would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional owners of
the land our headquarters are based, that is the past, present and emerging
Elders of Quandamooka country. The logo is encased in our name and it is
our aim that the combination of all these elements symbolise our respectful
yet dynamic and inclusive ethos.
