The group was invited to play at the International Conference of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles.

Gemma is a passionate student of music as well as a gifted player. In addition to the Spanish tour Gemma worked as an intern at the Arts Unit, an initiative by the NSW Government support state-wide arts education.
