At the start of our annual band camp (4th & 5th Mar, 2023) held at Koojarewon Youth Camp, Highfields. Along with band rehearsals and sectional rehearsals, we had many other interesting activities (gathered around the camp-fire being a favourite) helping further develop friendships.

Here we are at the end of the camp, exhausted after the weekend. We can't thank the staff at Koojarewon enough for their wonderful help and great catering.
