Parade of Bands
Saturday 24 March
Brisbane

Whilst many players really don't enjoy this event, there were a surprising number of people who seemed to be having a good time.  However, most of these shots were taken before the march.

David Chaulk was relegated to carrying the banner for Pelorus Trust Wellington Brass Band from New Zealand

Brenden Wheeler steps out for XLCR - and loved every minute of the march.

The mascot for Hall Village from Canberra

Locals - Windsor Brass

Leading by example - Warwick Tyrell, MD for Sutherland Shire Brass

David Bremner - taking his job very seriously

The excitment was just too much for some

Members of Shepparton Brass Band

Some enjoy it.....some don't

A very novel rehearsal venue

The 'before' shot...quite different to the 'after' photo.

What is the attraction MD's have for the bass drum?

Sunnybank's jackets matched the colour of the Brisbane sky

David Thornton and Phil Johnson discuss 'how to get out of marching' tactics.

Just a really cute photo

"O no...not the drill adjudicator."

How cool are these guys - check out the crocs.
