Oakleigh City Band - Patron
Ann Barker MP

State Member for Oakleigh

"I am very honoured to be the Patron of the Oakleigh City Band. The Oakleigh City Band and
the banding movement generally have been an important part of our local and national history
for a long time and have always provided great enjoyment and opportunity for many people, from
all walks of life and for all ages.
While never having played an instrument in a band, I had the pleasure of being more closely
involved when my son played with the Moorabbin Brass Band. I really came to understand the
commitment that those who are involved in brass banding give to their band and their
community, The brass band movement will welcome all those who want to participate. They
may want to learn to play or refresh their playing skills, or they may, like me, simply enjoy
watching and listening to a community brass band such as Oakleigh City Band.

| Community at its best is what the brass band
movement and Oakleigh City Band are about and I am very pleased to continue my involvement
with this great movement."
