High school students from nearly 100 schools around the nation compete in the Stage Band Awards, while individual Jazz and Vocal Scholarships are also highly coveted, helping to secure the musical destiny of individuals with enormous promise. And then there are the daily concerts – the sound inside the James Morrison big top pavilion, seating up to 5000 people in the middle of a paddock, is simply incredible!

Our Congratulations! go out to our Stage Band for not only competing for the first time in this National event but taking out 3rd Place in their division.

There were 56 bands in their split division and the BPC Stage Band secured one of 6 places. An amazing achievement by a group of very talented musicians.
