The South Burnett Community Orchestra will be paying a tribute to Anzac next month with a gala charity concert and dinner at Kingaroy Town Hall.<\/p>\n

“Medals, Music and Memories” will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Anzac, and also raise money for Soldier On, a non-profit organisation that supports injured soldiers returning from recent conflicts who are having difficulties reintegrating into the community.<\/p>\n

The concert, on July 18, will feature the SBCO along with special guest musicians from Kingaroy State High School and the Chinchilla Concert Band.<\/p>\n

Live music throughout the evening will include a number of pieces which have become associated with these wars.<\/p>\n

A three-course dinner will be served, with service assisted by Kingaroy State High hospitality students.<\/p>\n

There will also be a licensed bar with a range of drinks available for purchase, including South Burnett wines.<\/p>\n

The evening will include a ceremony to acknowledge the service of veterans and defence force members.<\/p>\n

There will be a flag ceremony with involvement from local veterans and reserve personnel, along with a guest speaker, the playing of the Last Post and reading of the Ode.<\/p>\n

Tickets to “Medals, Music and Memories” are $50 and are available from Kingaroy Office Central in Haly Street, Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Tables can be booked for 6-8 people, and larger groups can also be accommodated.<\/p>\n

“We believe this will be a very entertaining and memorable evening which will appeal to a broad section of the community,” SBCO events co-ordinator Carolyn Dingle said.<\/p>\n
