Great for general concerts as well as functions. For Defence Force organizations, serving or ex-serving, QSB has the music and knows the drill.
Adult starters' Band - A woodwind/brass/percussion band for adult beginners and, people who are returning to banding are several years away from banding. Adults learning 2nd or 3rd instruments also play here.
Bayside Youth Band(s) - Woodwind/brass/percussion/electro beginner bands. Members are allocated to a particular BYB, according to performance level e.g. very beginner to advanced. Some adult members also play in this band for extra chop time.
Jazz and Rock Bands -Two different bands dedicated to each genre.
Marching Bands:
Queensland Light Horse Heritage Band - The flagship marching band of QSHBA. This band is uniformed in WW1 Queensland Light Horse uniform. Repertoire, which is selected to suit the occasion, encompasses Boer War 2, WW1, WW2, Malaysia/Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam, Timor, to current Middle East.
Drum Corps - all percussion band which includes standard marching, displays and, supports our other marching bands.
BYB and Adult Starters' Band also participate in marching.
Some times, several of these bands play at the same concert. Our bands do enjoy gigs that require an overnight stay away from home. Our repertoire is very diverse and, has a heavy lean towards Australian music.
Rehearsals for each band are once per week however, many QSHBA members, sit-in and also perform, with more than one group. Tutorial sessions are also available.
Gigs are as required and, when members are available. Generally once a month.
