As part of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Orchestra, our members spent the last two weeks enduring long, hot rehearsals, playing some humbling and high profile gigs, exploring the tourist locations, and of course enjoying all the socialising that comes with these tours. Our performances included playing on the Great Wall, and we had the honour of being in the first international performance group ever permitted at Tiananmen Square! It was great to have our other Vic hub members along, many of whom have now joined; awesome getting to know you!
A huge thanks not only has to go out to the band for showing the others how to have some true Aussie fun, but most importantly to Richard, and everyone back home involved in making this tour what it was. Can't wait for the next one!
AYB - The Beijing 2008 Olympic Band!
The Australian Youth Band has been selected to form the Victorian contingent of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Orchestra, a 2008-piece international ensemble which will be performing at events in the lead up to and throughout this year's Olympic Games. This trip will provide our young musicians with another excellent opportunity to represent Victoria and Australia on the international stage.
