The Blackbutt Singers – plus friends from many other local community choirs – packed into Yarraman’s Memorial Hall on Sunday afternoon for a very special concert.<\/p>\n

The group decided to celebrate their 25th anniversary with a string of choral performances, singing alone and alongside other community choirs.<\/p>\n

The Blackbutt Singers have about 30 members these days, coming from Taromeo to Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Toowoomba mayor Paul Antonio, who officially opened the concert, summed up the Blackbutt Singers with a simple saying: “From little things big things grow …”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Blackbutt Singers have packed a lot into these 25 years … when you realise this organisation started with only five or six members.”<\/p>\n

Other choirs to perform at the anniversary concert included the Esk Community Choir, which has a long relationship with the Blackbutt Singers; men’s group Vocal Mayhem; South Burnett Chorale and the Caboolture Community Choir.<\/p>\n

The concert concluded with a massed performance by all choirs followed by afternoon tea.<\/p>\n
