Fanfare is the biennial state-wide festival of bands and orchestras from Queensland state schools. It showcases the exciting music-making that occurs in school-based ensembles across the state. The emphasis for Fanfare is on improving the quality of ensembles, promoting the highest possible standard of performance, striving for excellence, and encouraging participation.
Fanfare was initiated in 1985 to foster the development and highlight the achievements of school-based ensembles in the Instrumental Music program. Since then, over 160,000 instrumental music students from across Queensland have participated in the program.
