A canteen is run by volunteers to ensure the health and wellbeing of the members and a roster of support staff is required to assist in preparing and serving food on a weekly basis during the band’s morning tea break.

AYB undertakes several fundraising events to ensure the sustainability of the band and to keep providing our members with great musical and touring opportunities. There are many ways that you can assist in our fundraising endeavours; please ask our friendly committee members how.

The showcase of the band’s talents each year is its own Annual Concert. The concert regularly features high profile guest artists. The logistics of organising, promoting and hosting the concert are many and there are numerous ways you can assist AYB for this event, including selling tickets, stage management, ushering, and assisting with food and beverages.

When AYB perform, they are supported by a dedicated team of chaperones. The chaperones assist the 40 to 60 band members and the Musical Director prior to, during and after the performance, including assisting with uniforms, providing water bottles, packing and unpacking equipment, supervision and troubleshooting issues.
