About the Wind Symphony

THE CROYDON WIND SYMPHONY began in 1971 as the Croydon Concert Band. It was founded by the late Eric Page, who was the bandmaster of the Croydon Brass Band, and taught music at Croydon High School. He wanted a band for his students to graduate to after high school. The band has grown dramatically over the years in size and music ability and has played with artists such as Barry Crocker, Donald Cant, Judi Connelli, Colleen Hewitt, Tony Barber and Darrel Cotton. The band contests successfully at the Victorian State Championships and presents the annual Carols by Candlelight for the Maroondah City Council. In 2000 and 2002 the band was the Winner of the Victorian State Concert Band Championships in B Grade! (See photos here)

The band rehearses every Wednesday from 8.00pm to 10.00pm in Keystone Hall, Civic Square, Croydon and maintains a healthy performance schedule.

In addition, the band held an annual band camp (see the photos here) and numerous workshops.see photos here).
