Kingaroy Town Hall was filled on Saturday night with proud parents and friends eager to enjoy the best entries from the 2014 Kingaroy Eisteddfod.
The gala concert was the culmination of almost two weeks of competition.
The evening kicked off with the Kingaroy State High School wind ensemble playing the National Anthem.
Then it was into a night of music, speech, poetry, drama, singing and dancing.
Eisteddfod music co-ordinator and concert organiser Lois Blanch said she was very pleased with this year’s eisteddfod.
“The adjudicators have been very, very good,” she said.
Lois said the band competition had been especially good with entries coming from Nanango to Murgon.
