The Inner West Community Youth Band launched in December 2019. The youth band supported by a few select volunteers from IWCB, made their debut performance for the community carols in Halliday Park, Five Dock. The performers had a fantastic time and went away having gained new knowledge, friends and ensemble experience.

Unfortunately the band was not able to rehearse in 2020 due to COVID restrictions taking place before the first scheduled event. We are excited to be launching weekly rehearsals in 2021.
