Concert Bands
BHS has a huge banding program which caters to the needs and standards of all students - from beginner level to very advanced.

The program is structured around five ensembles:

• Concert Band (all musicians Year 7 - 12)

• Percussion Ensemble (drummers only Years 7 - 12)

These ensembles rehearse at lunchtimes with the exception of the Concert band which rehearses Monday afternoons 2.10pm - 4pm.

The experienced and ever enthusiastic conductor/director is Mrs Gill.

Instruments include: piccolo, flute, clarinet, oboe, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet, trombone, french horn, tuba, bass guitar, glockenspeil, xylophone, timpani drums and drum kit.

BHS instrumental ensembles constantly participate in Bandfest and other school based and community based performances.
