| Feilding's 16th Festival of Bands |
Come and join us at the Feilding Civic Centre on Sunday the 14th of June for a day of entertaining music from bands throughout the Central and Lower North Island.
General Admission
Public admission prices have been set low at $2 adult $1 children, due to generous sponsorship again from CCNZ. (Band people in uniform - no charge, with seating priority given to the public)
Bandspeople may get 'hand stamped' while in uniform if they wish to change into more casual clothing and have free entry later on. It is sincerely hoped that all participants will take the opportunity to hear and support their fellow musicians. All musicians love an audience!
Food
Our kiosk will be providing tea & coffee, soft drinks and hot & cold food.
