Since the 1980's the Onkaparinga City Concert Band Inc. (OCCB) has operated a musical instrument hire program to assist the organisations bands and provide opportunities to the residents of the south that may not otherwise exist.
Recently a grant was awarded to the OCCB by the Adelaide Bank Charitable Foundation recognising the benefits of the instrument hire program to the community. The grant ensured that affordable and quality instruments could continue to be made available to all in the southern community. Special thanks also needs to be made to Presto Music for assisting in the purchase of the instruments.
A full range of quality brass and woodwind instruments are available for hire at very affordable prices.
