Welcome Letter
Welcome to the official website of the 2025 Yamaha Australian National Band Championships.
Victorian Bands' League President's Welcome
On behalf of the banding community of Victoria, I am thrilled to welcome bands from across Australia to Melbourne for the 2025 Yamaha Australian National Band Championships.
The venues are Xavier College and Methodist Ladies College, both of which boast state of the art performance venues and high quality audience facilities. Nestled in the leafy inner Melbourne suburb of Kew, the venues are just a short train ride from the Melbourne CBD and close to local shopping strips and amenities.
We are delighted that Yamaha Music Australia are our major sponsor for this prestigious event and thank them for their ongoing support of community music and banding in Australia.
This national event offers a fantastic opportunity for bands and musicians to showcase their talents and push their musical boundaries in a spirit of friendly competition. It also provides a unique occasion for audiences to experience Australian bands at their finest, highlighting the incredible talent within our banding community.
We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne in 2025!
Megan Stapleton
President
