YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Like so many bands in country towns across Australia, Bega's District Band was once the beating heart of the community, providing the soundtrack to events, dances and ceremonies.

But now in its 125th year, the band's membership has dwindled to around 15 regulars as it struggles to attract a younger generation of players.

The solution? Making the band all-ages and allowing entry to those with differing levels of musicianship.
