SOMETHING wonderful and ridiculous took place a few weeks ago during the depths of the first COVID lockdown. Community music leaders from Inverloch, Lyndal Chambers and Brian ‘Strat’ Strating, brought people together from far and wide and led a virtual street band parade. It was colourful, joyful and totally absurd.
Normally, at the end of May, Community Music Victoria hosts a music camp at Grantville. People of all ages and levels of musical ability come together for a weekend of music-sharing, workshops and performances. The music camp always culminates in a street band parade in which people dress up, play music and parade their way around the camping ground.
