The Redland Shire is an southern, bayside region of Greater Brisbane (which is not the same as the Brisbane City Council - its my name for a rough area from Caboolture to Beenleigh - click here to see what I call Greater Brisbane).

The Shire has a Ladies’ drum corps - I saw them when I photoblogged Australia Day at Southbank, and Beth Connor from the Drum Corps asked me to let you know more about them.

The Redland Shire Ladies’ Drum Corps practices every Wednesday night in the carpark of the North Stradbroke Ferry Terminal. Click here to see the exact location - click here to see from a distance and click here to see up close.

Any female from 13 to 70 is welcome to join. It’s $25 every 3 months to cover uniforms and drums, and you’ll also get lessons on how to drum in the Corps. After mastering side drumming, and the basic marches and displays, you can learn tenor or bass drumming if you want.

The Corps has performed in festivals and street parades right around the Redland Shire, other parts of Brisbane, and as far away as Stanthorpe (click here to see where it is) to Murwillumbah (click here…)

If you want to start drumming with the Corps, call the Secretary, Ms Jenny Hall, on 07 3206 4765 (+617 3206 4765 from overseas).

Charlie Armstrong memorial flute band, Adelaide, Says:

Hi, Greetings from Adelaide,
Ive just browsed thru your site & was very impressed with your drum corps. & website, Very smart!~,,,
My name is Gordon Armstrong & I belong to a Fife & drum corps that we recently formed,
We have 4 side drums & are using 3 different types of 2nd hand drums ( they sound awful!) & are on the lookout for better 2nd hand side drums & a bass drum & was wondering if you could help us locate a decent set 2nd hand drums?,
We have looked on eBay & other sites, However, They are either out of our price range or their isn’t any available to suit our needs, what type of side drums are you using?, (I saw that you are using a Premier Bass drum, Are they any good & what price are they?)

Any help in locating 2nd hand drums would be gratefully appreciated.

Best wishes & good luck for they upcoming Anzac parade.

Cheers,
Gordon.
