Band Members: Casey Withoos:
Vocals/Interpretive dance/Faggot (true story!)
17 year old Casey has been singing since she was ten. This happened because a very crabby old woman suggested she had singing lessons. Whether that was because this crabby woman thought Casey had a lot of potential or thought Casey was terrible, we’ll never know. But it’s this crabby old woman we have to thank for this voice! Without her, Casey would never have started her lessons.
After 7 and counting years of hard work, Casey is happy to say that she is an opera singer who sings jazz when she gets the chance and is a lover of all things musical. As well as singing, she plays piano and the faggot, and has in the past played clarinet and bass clarinet – let’s face it. She likes to blow.
In her downtime, she is quietly angsty about the fact that her fingers are too small to fit around the neck of a guitar. The most pierced member of Sweetman Parade enjoys pina coladas (though she'd sooner have a Diet Coke with lime) and getting caught in the rain (though she'd sooner have no rain) and is a total nerd who likes anime, comedy, writing essays and writing in third person.
She sends you her love and hopes you well see much more of her in the future

Teagan Scarlett:
Saxophone/Guitar
Yo!
I'm Teagan, I'm 18, and I'm passionately driven by my desire to sax-it-up - Sweetman style! When I'm not saxing, I also make appearances in songs on guitar and bass, which is mighty fun!
I started learning clarinet from grade 6, guitar came a few years after that, and then saxaphone shortly followed! Hope you guys dig our music, cause we sure as hell enjoy playing it!
Hope to catch all you dudes and dudettes on the flip side -
Peace Out!
Jayden Scarlett:
Trombone/Eupho/Mini-Djembe
Whaddup guys? I'm Jay, and I'm in charge of all that's happening in the horn section - Bass Wise.
I've been learning the euphonium since year 7, and I picked up the trombone in year 9. Since then I have been blasting (in the good way) my way all the way to SweetMan Parade! If I ever have a future goal in life, it would be to play trombone with guys like Keiran Conrau and James Morrison.
Peace out guys, I'll see ya later... maybe.
-Jay, The Trombone Man
Alyssa Stilo:
Keyboard/Piano
G-Day Folks! My name's Alyssa and I'm 16 years old. Been playing the piano since I was 5 and will most likely keep playing till my fingers are too old and wrinkly to function? I also play percussion and absolutely love it!
Besides making sweet sweet music, I spend my time skipping, singing (very badly), daydreaming, sitting in front of the tele or doing something spontaneous!
Meeting these Mowbray guys is probably one of the best things that has happened to me, coz without them, lets face it, there is no SWEETMAN PARADE!
We all hope u all love our music as much as we love playing it.
Rock on dudes!

P.S: All hot guys out there: I'm not single anymore – HAHA! TOO SLOW!)
Yoo Jin Germaine:
Bass/Guitar
G'day peeps. I'm Yooj, I'm 18 and in charge of comin up with all the wicked/phat bass lines that you hear!
Apart from that I play far too many instruments than is healthy. I've been playing Violin for nearly 15 years now, Piano for 10 years, Bass Guitar for 2 years, Guitar for about 6 months and maybe Chapman Stick one day too!
Yooj :)
Emily Chen:
Lead Guitar/Percussion/Accordian
Good evening, my fellow survivors of the fallopian highway!
I’m Em.
I started playing piano when I was 5. The first music book I owned had cartoon monsters in it. I think I have those small coloured creatures, who clotted up my pages, told me what to do and added thoughtful exclamation marks to their advice, to thank for keeping me going with music.
Now I’m 15 and play piano, guitar and a range of percussion instruments. I hope, one sunny day, to play an electric triangle, plugged into an effects box, making the sound of a duck eating a five-legged worm.
P.S: get into: Mr.Bungle, The Mighty Boosh, and The Chaser’s War on Everything
Julia Bebenek:
Drumkit/Percussion
Hey my name is Julia,
First of all I want to thank my Mum and Dad for getting me involved in music, if it weren’t for them then I would never be where I am. I started out with piano and played that for four years, then moved on to clarinet for two years…. and then started with playing the drums. After my first lesson, I just new that this was the right instrument for me. My drum teacher Sam inspired me greatly and I thank him so much for that.
I now have been playing for 3 years and currently study at the VCA, and I LOVE IT!!!!!
P.S thanks to all my friends and the best times that we have had over the past few years!
