QUEENSLAND MOUNTED INFANTRY HISTORICAL TROOP BAND

News - "Queensland Gamming Community Benefit Fund" has made a grant to QSHBA of $30,000.00 - click here for more details.

QMIHTB is a community based Brass Band developed as a result of the disbandment of the Australian Army Reserve's, 2nd & 14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) Band in 2005. The band now comes under the governance of the civilian based, QUEENSLAND SERVICES HERITAGE BAND ASSOCIATION INC., and is one of the bands that is supported by QSHBA.  (See Bayside Combined Schools' Band & Q'belles)

The Band rehearses on Monday nights and has a focus on a range of  more modern musical styles, and includes non brass traditional resources including Guitars, Keyboards and Vocals yet still devotes a part of its performance repertoire to more traditional Band music e.g. marches and overtures. Because of its military origins, the band also maintains as part of its repertoire, music that has traditional links to our previous military heritage even though it now operates fully as a civilian band.  Our band is a band for all occassions and is available for hire for dinner music, dance music, marching music and/or general concert music.

The Band still has links to the QMI Historical Troop (historical horse troop) which maintains and re-enacts the uniforms, horse livery and traditions of the Australian Light Horse era.

The photo shows part of our band at the Fire and Flood Relief appeal concert at the Wynnum Leisure Center in March 2009. Since then we have received a much welcomed grant from the Queensland Gamming Community Benefit Fund with which we have already purchased five high quality brass instruments and music stands. Still to come is the re-recording of the "Sunshine State" as well as a new set of marching drums. From other funding we have also acquired a new PA system and stand banners

The band welcomes new members experienced  in Brass,  Percussion, Vocals, Keboard and Guitar as well as those wishing to learn.

Please note that sometimes our rehearsal venue may need to change or we have a performance on at that time, so please make contact  before attending to confirm our location. (see rehearsal venue link above or click here)
