About EHPS Band

Epping Heights Public School has five groups: training band, intermediate band, concert band, stage (jazz) band and string ensemble. Students may join the band program from year 3.

Our bands have many performance opportunities including music festivals, the Anzac Day ceremony, regular assemblies & special assemblies at school, Christmas Carols, and our annual Strictly Live Concert.

Instruments in the band include brass, woodwind, strings, percussion and keyboards. Our musicians play flute, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, euphonium, violins, cello, double bass, tuba, electric bass and percussion including drums.

Our band program is run by a volunteer parent sub-committee which is supported by the school, and employs professional conductors.
