New Year's Eve 2005

Our first big event in 2006 will be the Australia Day parade in Brisbane, on 26 January. We are working together with a theatre group to get a spectacular combination of sound & sights! See our gigs page for more details.

In February, about 10 of us will go to witness the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro. We intend to learn a lot by participating in workshops, and of course we'll go to the big parade in the Sambodromo. We will also buy some much needed extra percussion instruments, and hopefully we'll pick up some extra colourful costumes.

Once we're all back, we start a new season of the Brisbane Samba School. There are a number of positions available, on all types of drums, so this would be a good moment to join us.
