Marion initiative to reach the world

The Marion City Band from Adelaide is looking to reach out to the banding world.

Marion City
 

As part of a new initiative to inform the public of their activities, the Marion City Band (based in Adelaide, South Australia) has created an E-newsletter which will be sent out on a regular basis to friends and supporters of the band.

News

The newsletter will feature articles on recent engagements and competitions, upcoming events, social events and recruitment for all four ensembles: Marion City Band, Warriparinga Brass, Warriparinga Youth and the Learners’ Class.

Contact

The band is keen to try and make contact with as many people from all over the banding world, so if you are interested then all you have to do is go to:
