Last weekend both Box Hill Academy Brass and Box Hill Academy Brass Training Band participated in the Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod in Traralgon. The training band won in the Learner Brass Band category and Box Hill Academy Brass won both the Junior Brass and Open C Grade titles.

It was a successful weekend for our bands, with many members performing in the solos on the Saturday, and all four of our BHCB Inc. bands competing on the Sunday.

Whitehorse Brass won Open B Grade and Open A Grade and Box Hill City Band placed 2nd in Open B Grade, too! It was so great to have so much maroon representation!

To brass convenor, Caitlyn Dinsdale - thank you for your outstanding work in coordinating the event 👏👏👏
We’re looking forward to doing it all again in 2027!

🏆BOX HILL ACADEMY BRASS – VICTORIAN STATE CHAMPIONS 🏆

We are thrilled to announce that Box Hill Academy Brass Youth Band have been crowned Open C Grade Champions at the Victorian State Band Championships over the weekend.

It was an achievement for the band to prepare for a performance in an open grade, but to get the win was even more special. Some of the players in the band are only 10 years old!

The weekend kicked off with a bang as Broden Ford led Whitehorse Brass to success in Open B grade. Congratulations to the team at Whitehorse on their win!

A big congratulations to Darebin City Brass Northern Brass who came 2nd in C grade, Hyde Street Youth Band who placed 3rd and all of the bands who performed in the grade. We had a lot of players stick around and listen to a lot of bands and heard such great sounds from every band in the grade.

Thank you to the Victorian Bands' League and the volunteers from each of the bands for running such a great contest. A big shoutout to Brassbanned for their streaming of the performances across the entire weekend!

Finally, a big thank you to Richard Shirley for his adjudication and constructive feedback to help our band continue to grow.

Over the next few days we will share some more photos from the weekend! 🎺🥁🎵

🥳A Celebration of Brass Concert – Box Hill Academy Brass Training Band🥳

Our training band performed 3 items at the Celebration of Brass Concert last Sunday! 🎵

Playing 2 of their pieces from the recent Bendigo Eisteddfod, the band had also worked hard to learn a new piece within a few rehearsals for this concert.

Our new item showcased our fantastic percussion team. Each of the percussionists wrote a 2-bar solo and together they choreographed their own drumline feature! 🥁

If you’re interested in joining our training band for Term 3, we are on the lookout for trombones, euphoniums and tubas – come and join the team! 😊
