AND QUEENSLAND SHOW BAND 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) QMIHTB is the ceremonial and marching band side of the association while QSB is the concert side of the association. The Band rehearses on Monday nights and has a focus on a range of more modern musical styles, and offers places to not only the tradition brass instruments but also modern electronic instrumentalists well as vocalists. As well as contempory music, our bands still devote part of the 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 bands are bands for all occasions 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 QSB at the Gold Coast Arts Centre after our performance at the Bandfest 2010 gala Concert. We have received a much welcomed grant from the Queensland Gambling Community Benefit Fund with which we have already purchased five high quality instruments and music stands. In addition, we have also been able to record a CD which includes a re-recording of the "Sunshine State". We also have purchased 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, Keyboard and Guitar as well as those wishing to learn.
