At Parents Battle of the Bands, we honour the Traditional Custodians of the lands where music and stories have been shared for generations. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and we honour music as a timeless force for connection, learning, inspiration, and community.
Music is magic; a sign of the times, a parade across (new power) generations — bringing us together, giving voice, and shaping culture.
We are indeed gathered here today to get through this thing called life
