Condobolin RSL Pipe Band celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006, still retaining many of its original contingent. They are in fact unique in that they are the only active pipe band within a 200 kilometre radius.
Undeterred by this, members of the band spent much of 2007 establishing new relationships with other bands to take up the challenge of presenting a Tattoo to the residents of Condobolin and surrounding villages and towns of the Lachlan Shire, and hoping to corner the market of those who travel through our outback town on their way north or south for the winter break.
It is also an ideal opportunity for past members of the band, and their families, to rejoin us for the event, and renew their connections with the community.
Bands with international reputations such as the Australian Federal Police Pipes and Drums, and The Band Club from St Mary’s from our sister city Penrith have agreed to participate, and with the partnership of the Lachlan Shire, local businesses and their associates, the Tattoo promises to be an exciting attraction. The program will also include cross-cultural performances by local artists, as well as Condobolin's own pipe band, accompanied by Canobolas Highland Pipe Band and Lachlan Valley Pipe Band, who so often join with the Condobolin Pipe Band at the annual Condobolin Show.
Ticket sales will be through the Condobolin RSL, $15 per adult, $30 per family (2 adults and 2 children), $5 per extra child. Contact the Condobolin RSL on (02) 6895 2113 or condobolinrslclub@bigpond.com for further details regarding ticketing.
Proudly supported by Festivals Australia, Lachlan Shire Council, Penrith City Council, Coates, Steel Supplies, Condo Steel, J.N. Straney & Son and Moses & Son.
