School Concert Band

At Strathfield South Public School, the school concert band program has been running for nearly 20 years. Directions in Music have supported the music education of many of our students over these years. Without the band program, students would not normally have access to concert band instruments such as trumpet, trombone, saxophone or clarinet and flute until they get to high school. This program provides our students with a unique opportunity in a public school.

See the flyer from DIM attached for more information about joining the band in 2025.
