The Kingaroy Eisteddfod sprung into action on Tuesday at the Kingaroy Town Hall with “Dance” leading off the program of events.
The eisteddfod is in its 84th year and is bigger than ever, drawing entries from northern NSW to Central Queensland.
A record number of Dance entries have been lodged, which means this section of the eisteddfod has been extended to seven days.
Solos, Duos and Trios will dance on April 26-30 followed by Groups on May 1-2 (including the public holiday).
Speech and Drama will begin on Tuesday, May 3, followed by Secondary Choirs.
The rest of the Music sessions will start at 8:30am on May 4 and run to May 6.
May 5 has been set aside for School Choirs, followed by Piano and Singing until about 8:00pm.
On May 6, there will be Instrumental Solos, Duos, Trios and Quintets; followed by Small Primary and Secondary School Bands; piano duets and then Secondary School Bands.
The always-popular Eisteddfod Concert, which features the best of the best, will be held from 7:00pm on Saturday, May 14.
