Mala Band - Bush Bands Bash 2019 - Camp Experience

Added by PY Media Inc

Description The Bush Bands Bash ('BBB') program requires all participating bands to attend a 4 day professional development camp called 'Bush Bands Bash Business' held at Ross River Resort. The camp is held in a lead up to the main event, which this year took place on Sunday 8th September 2019.

This year the Mala Band from Amata successfully applied to attend the BBB. They went to Bush Bands Bash Business camp. They were also joined by their Anangu brothers from Docker River Band and Mutitjulu Band along with several other bands from across the country.

In 2019 PY Media once again actively supported the Bush Bands Bash program and attended, not just the main event, but also the last two days of the camp held in Ross River Resort in the Northern Territory in Australia.

On Saturday 7th September 2019, PY Media spoke with the Mala Band. Here are some of the band members' thoughts on the camp experience. Wirunya.
