The amazing journey that Rockin Our Abilities has been on since 2021 culminated in massive concert at Kingaroy Town Hall on Saturday morning.
The group, which provides drama and music opportunities for people with a disability, grew out of an idea that Sonia McMahon had in her lounge room about six years ago.
She had worked with a similar music program on the Sunshine Coast, and recognised there was a need in the South Burnett.
From tiny beginnings – just five people – the group filled the stage (and the town hall) on Saturday for its 10th concert.
Rockin Our Abilities meets at the Uniting Church Hall in Gore Street, Murgon, but will be opening a Kingaroy chapter on January 28.
Sonia promised there would be something for everyone at the concert … and there was! From country music to big band nostalgia, KISS and Elton John.
A Village People medley – featuring the Trump rally favourite “YMCA” – had the audience joining in with enthusiasm.
The smiles on the faces of the Rockin Our Abilities crew members showed just how much fun they were having on stage after at least six months practice.
At the end of the concert, each of the performers was presented with small trophy to mark their 2025 performance.
Sonia thanked the South Burnett Regional Council and the RADF grants program for supporting the concert; and Brett Chaseling, from Musicians Oasis, for adding the magic with light and sound.
