Hyde Street Youth Band

Musical Directors - Current

Who is conducting our two ensembles?


As of October 2008, we have two "Joint Musical Directors".....

David Redding

David started playing brass with the band while attending Footscray City PS.  He has been a member for many years and we are fortunate to have his continued input now that he is too old for junior playing.  He's a member of Moonee Valley Brass and was our Assistant M.D., filling in for the absence of Musical Director after the unexpected departure of Mark Fitzpatrick.





Benjamin Milne

Ben is another successful Hyde St. alumni who has continued to help out after becoming too old for the competition team.  He is currently studying for a Bachelor of Music Performance at the Vic. College of the Arts and plays with the 'A Grade' Darebin City Brass.  He is now also our Training Band director.
