"An association for the continuing enjoyment and development of members as musicians after the Weekend Warrior Programme"
Do you know the similarities between Weekend Warriors and Warriors Victoria?
The Weekend Warriors programme arrived in Brisbane in 2002 after enjoying a 10-year success in the United States and Canada. In 2003 the programme was started in Melbourne.
The original Weekend Warrior organizers recognised that there are many people in their 30's, 40's and 50's who used to play music and had rock star dreams when they were young but gave up due to family and career. It was also noticed that many of these people were returning to buy musical instruments again in their +30's. These "bedroom" musicians were then recruited, formed into bands with other similar musicians that they had previously never met, rehearsed over a 4-week period with a professional coach and then put on stage in a concert. Each band performs 5 - 7 songs in a 30 minute set.
The focus of the Weekend Warrior programme being to get people back out playing music again and enjoying themselves.
Following the initial Weekend Warrior experience, players can then join the players association, namely Warriors Victoria.
Warriors Victoria is an extension of the ideals of the Weekend Warrior programme.
While being a distinct and separate entity to Weekend Warriors, Warriors Victoria is a players association made up of Weekend Warriors who hope to encourage the continuing enjoyment and development of members as musicians after the Weekend Warrior Programme.
Warriors Victoria has a group of dedicated volunteers working hard on behalf of members to ensure the success of the association. If you would like to become a volunteer please contact our offices at Warrior Central at the numbers on our Contact Us page.
Warriors Victoria is also provides activities for the enjoyment of its members such as regular jams, open mic's and concerts and promoting educational classes on musical/instrument tuition and equipment etc.
