18th November, 2026.
I recognise and congratulate the talented Bandemonium students from Mittagong Public School, Bowral Public School, Chevalier College, Bundanoon Public School, Moss Vale public and high schools, Exeter Public School and Wollondilly Public School, who performed in the Bandemonium end of year charity concert. I congratulate the dedicated teachers and owner Nathan Walsh as well as concert conductor and coordinator Corrina Clark, who are passing on a love for music and learning to the students. The charity of choice was Wombat Care Bundanoon, and attendees gave generously. Held in the Sacre Coeur Performing Arts Centre at Chevalier College, the evening started with the training bands from all schools playing together. Well done to the students in the training band, who have only just started playing their instruments this year. Next was the concert band, and in between students played solos. The Chevalier school band, conducted by Josh Combes, then impressed and inspired the young primary school musicians with their performance. Well done to Bandemonium teachers and students for their musical and fundraising efforts.
