Gunnedah Conservatorium is starting a new youth band program aimed at supporting new bands, students who would like to join a band or soloists who would like to polish their performance! This is about developing students as performing artists in their own right – ready to take to the stage, busk, find a gig at a local café, or play at one of the Youth Band Nights.


The aim of the project is to support students develop a range of skills including:

  • instrumental/vocal work and rehearsals
  • performance skills
  • promoting your band / group / you
  • making your own merchandise
  • building a fan base
  • backline rehearsals
  • equipment set-up and care
  • sound check vs line check
  • more rehearsals
  • venue set-up, load-in
  • sound/line check
  • playing the GIG, a LIVE EVENT
  • load out
