Oz Nats Live Online

The A Grade sections of the Australian National Band Championships will be streamed live over the internet in 2008.

themusicpage.com
 

The Music Page – an innovative new website that was first seen in action as part of the 2007 Melbourne International Festival of Brass – has been granted permission to stream the A Grade brass bands playing their Hymn, Test, Own Choice and March.

If Brisbane is too far away, but you are still keen to watch and listen to the action as it happens log on to www.themusicpage.com and
watch for free!

These audio and video will be streamed live on The Music Page in similar to the way in which the Norwegian Nationals were streamed earlier this year http://www.4barsrest.com/news/detail.asp?id=7207

Available for free

The A Grade Australian videos will also be available on The Music Page as a free public archive of the competition, after the event.

Australasian Open as well

The Music Page is also in negotiations with the Federation of Australian Brass Bands [FABB] about providing a similar online streaming and videoing service for the 2008 Australasian Open in October this year.

Other Performances

The Melbourne International Festival of Brass in 2007 was where The Music Page was first in action, live streaming concerts of Mnozil brass and other international artists. These videos are still available for free public viewing on the website, in the same way that videos from the 2008 Nationals will be available for free viewing.

Worldwide coverage

The Music Page is keen to provide a similar service for other major competitions around the world, and is working with the 4barsrest team to increase the worldwide accessibility to these events.
