Navy Band a hit at RIMPAC 2010

The RAN Band Sea Deployment Group (SDG) held a series of public performances during the Exercise Rim-of-the- Pacific (RIMPAC) 2010, starting with a concert at one of Hawaii’s most important and historic sites, Pearl Harbor.

The brass quintet played two sets of 30 minutes, setting a suitably sombre theme of pieces including Danny Boy and Stardust, to the delight of the American crowds.

Twelve members of the RAN Band SDG have deployed on HMAS Kanimbla for RIMPAC and include the brass quintet, a jazz group and a rock group.
