Concord All Stars & Junior Marching Band
Concord ALL STARS is a part of Concord Drum & Bugle Corps – a unit that has been at the forefront of youth marching music since its formation in 1984. Concord AllStars is a marching musical ensemble for young people aged between 8 and 12 years. Its aims are to provide education in music, playing brass and percussion instruments and in public performance as a marching musical ensemble. The ALL STARS play a combination of brass instruments (trumpets, tenor horns, euphoniums and tubas) plus snare and bass drums and cymbals.
There is also an auxiliary section for dancers who also use flags and other equipment.
Music and movement are taught by volunteer instructors with a wide range of experience in the marching music field.
In addition to the musical rewards gained through learning to play an instrument, there are many fringe benefits in the development of personal confidence and self-esteem. Making music also helps to improve numeracy, self-expression and decision-making in addition to learning to work co-operatively and for a common aim. These benefits are recognised by many in the academic world as offering a greater educational advantage to those involved in learning and performing music.
