NEVR Rookie Band Workshop
The Rookie Band will be participating in the North Eastern Victorian Region Rookie Band Workshop on Friday 2 December at Lilydale Heights Secondary College.
There will be over 80 music students from several schools in the region participating.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for the students to meet and make music with other students in their level.
