About

Sunday Bandstand makes a triumphant return for SummerTimes 2012. "On Leave" from its traditional post at the Bandsmen's Memorial Rotunda, you will find the ever-present melodic sounds resonating through the Botanic Gardens from the Central Lawn near the Rose Garden and from afar at the Scarborough Reserve in Sumner!

Whether it's the pipes or the brass that stirs you, gather a picnic and comfy seats for your family, and march on down around noon for a wonderful Sunday’s entertainment!
