About the NV's:
The School
Band is run by the school music department, a parent committee
and assisted by
School and Community Music.
The band usually goes on tour
once every two or three years. In 2006 they travelled to Japan
where they played at the Edogawa Citizens Festival, Tokyo Disney
Sea and various other events in Tokyo as guests of Edogawa City.

Nationals and they have just returned from a very successful
trip to New Zealand. In addition to this they also play at
various events in the local area.
