Music Director
Anzac Day parades and services across the country would not be the same without music. Much of this is provided by bands of the Australian Army Band Corps. Rod Mason is the music director for the Australian Defence Force Academy Band and believes that a career as a musician in Australia’s Defence Force is the best gig in town.
