2025: Year in Review
2025 was a stellar year for Westgate Concert Band. We presented three massive performances, growing our band networks and collaborative opportunities, as well as taking part in the Western Bands Festival. Our members made it all possible and we have been delighted to welcome a host of new players (from across the world even!) and indoctrinate two long standing members to the rank of Life Member!
West Gate Neighbourhood Fund
We are excited to be a recipient of the Victorian Government’s West Gate Neighbourhood Fund. This support has allowed us to finally repair our percussion instruments!
2024: Year in Review
Westgate Concert Band celebrated its 45th year in style. With two major concerts, plenty of community outreach events and honing our skills at the inaugural Western Bands Festival, it was a busy one! We were thrilled to welcome several new players, each growing the sound and strength of our ensemble, and award two 20 Years of Service awards at our Presentation Night.
2022: Year in Review
In 2022, Westgate Concert Band reawakened! No one needs to be reminded of the severe impact that pesky respiratory virus had on our activities, and despite valiant efforts to keep our ensemble alive via zoom, nothing quite compares to creating music together once again. This year Westgate worked hard to regain their musical skills and their ‘chops’, were thrilled to welcome a collection of new members, and finally performed under our new musical director.
