Bob Childs in action
 

Dr Robert Childs is to lead a Conductors Workshop directly after the Australian National Championships in Brisbane this year.
The event will run directly after the Championships, which take place from Tuesday 22nd April — Thursday 24th April.

Looking forward

Speaking exclusively to 4BR he said that he was looking forward to his return to Australia where last year he led the RASWA Band to second place in the Championship Section contest:

"I’m really looking forward to making trip once again. I’m travelling out the week before to work with several bands on their contest preparations.

I'll also be visiting Sydney and Melbourne prior to my work in Brisbane."
