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
