Want to help the band, and score some savings in one fell stroke? As usual, the City of Perth Band is selling Entertainment Books for fundraising this year. We cannot stress enough just how great these books are – it might seem daunting dropping all that money at once, but you’ll have gained as much back in savings after using only a handful of the savings coupons found inside. The books are currently available for preorder, and will be physically available in May.

The City of Perth Band commenced life in 1898 as the Perth Federal Band, later going through a change of name to the Perth City Band around 1905, and finally to its present name to align with the City of Perth in about 1970 when the City of Perth assisted the band to erect a purpose-built band room in Robertson Park, Northbridge.

The band lost this venue in 1999 with the break up of the Perth City Council whereby the Band room fell within the Town of Vincent’s boundary. Once again the City Council came to the Band’s assistance by enabling a new band room to be erected in Queens Gardens East Perth. It is named after Sir Charles Court, a former Patron of the band for 25 years, without whose assistance the project would never have been brought to fruition.

If you’re just out of school, a community band veteran, or just looking for a fun place to toot your horn, come along to one of our practices.
