15 September 2000 Latest pictures on the Sydney 2000 Olympic Band from Bathurst BandTown and Charles Sturt University. Despite the cold weather and gruelling rehearsal schedule of the last week, artistic director of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Band Barry Spanier believes it has been well worthwhile. In the early hours of yesterday, Mr Spanier and his 2000 musicians returned from the first dress rehearsal for the opening ceremony at Olympic Stadium, all pleased with the results of their hard work. 11 September 2000 Life on campus for the band has been busy for all concerned, the players, the organisers, chaperones and CSU staff. But there's still time out to do a little souvenier shopping and listen to music in your room.
Meal time is all important as well.
The whole band came together for the first time for rehearsal at Charles Sturt University's Bathurst Campus. It's not quite the athlete's village, but Charles Sturt University's Bathurst Campus certainly has an international feel this week as it becomes host to the Australian and international members of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Marching Band. 24 August 2000 Working as a Sydney 2000 Olympics volunteer will give School of Clinical Sciences associate lecturer Luke Barclay the chance to see a side of elite international competitors that very few will ever see - their insides. Getting physical at the Games Tuesday 23 August 2000 Charles Sturt University students will see the glory and the pain of Sydney 2000 Olympics Games first hand when they join the vast army of volunteers at the event. Six physiotherapy students from the University's School of Community Health, based in Albury-Wodonga, will be among the volunteers providing medical attention to athletes competing in the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
