The Tasmanian Bands League (TBL) is the governing body of community banding in Tasmania. It is also an affiliated banding association of the National Band Council of Australia (NBCA). The Tasmanian Bands League's operations include the running of music camps and workshops within the state, as well as the organisation of local band-related competitions. == A Brief History == Although the TBL was formed in Launceston during the April of 1946, historical records suggest that there were predecessors to the current banding authority. An organisation known as the "Tasmanian Bands Association" was formed in Hobart on 24 February 1914.〔http://www.tbl.org.au/〕 In this inaugural year, the association comprised bands from all parts of Tasmania, including: Gormanston, Waratah, Queenstown, Zeehan Military, Launceston City, St. Joseph's, Railway, Williamsford and Collins Vale bands. One year after its formation, the Bischoff, Derwent, Hobart City, North Hobart and Tasmanian Military bands also became registered members of the association. The Tasmanian Bands League was formed through the recommendation of Launceston Railway Silver Band's bandmaster, Verdi McMahon. McMahon suggested that there was a need for band representatives to meet on mutual terms in order to promote banding and contests in Tasmania. Initial membership of the League consisted of brass and pipe bands, which included: St. Andrews Pipe, Launceston City, Launceston Railway, Burnie Municipal, Invermay, Returned Services Memorial, Hobart City and Queenstown bands. The first ever event organised by the TBL was held at York Park in Launceston on Sunday, 27 October 1946. This was the first peace time Band Day in Launceston. Brass and pipe bands alike participated in the event, which included: Burnie Pipe, Hobart Memorial, Invermay Boys, Launceston City, Launceston Boys, St. Andrews Caledonian, Launceston Railway Silver, Latrobe, Burnie Marine, Devonport Municipal and Ulverstone Municipal. Currently, there are a total of 13 banding organisations (brass bands and concert bands) affiliated with the TBL: Many of these organisations offer development and/or junior band programmes for new musicians. The TBL also offers opportunities for school-based bands to become affiliate members, which enables these school bands to participate in local competitions. Currently, Ogilvie High Symphonic Band and Launceston College's Band Program are affiliated members of the TBL. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tasmanian Bands League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
