The Eltham Concert Band
The Eltham Concert Band is a community band based in Eltham in the Shire of Nillumbik in the North Eastern suburbs of Melbourne (Australia). We are partly supported by the Shire Council and we perform for a wide range of community service groups and in various community functions such as: The Nillumbik, Warrandyte and Banyule Festivals; Council functions and Judge Book Village events.
Eltham Concert Band has a proud history of providing enjoyable music making for the players as well as exciting entertainment for the community. The Band celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015. Several of the members have been with the Band for most of that time.
The band's 50th Anniversary
Yes, the band turns 50 this year, and our first concert is later than usual: 29th June. This is to give us time to make it special. The concert will be longer than usual. Some of the music is quite challenging, so our MD, Phil, will have us working hard right from our first rehearsal (3rd Feb)
New Logo - New Banners
If you look at the top of this web page, you will see our new Crest/Logo. Our stand banners have featured a brooch connected with our founder for a long time, but they are getting a bit tired and faded. We have commissioned a designer to come up with a logo that still featured the brooch, but which looked more modern. The result is at the top of the web page.
We have been saving our pennies to be able to have new banners ready for our anniversary concert. We will do our best to have the banners bought and in place by the concert.
