Former Wondai Shire Mayor Percy Iszlaub has been a member of the Wondai & District Band for more than 75 years, and is one of its best-known faces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June 16, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brass band music fans will be able to enjoy a special concert in Wondai this Sunday afternoon (June 18).<\/p>\n

The Wondai Town and District Band will be teaming up with the Gold Coast City Brass Band to perform some of the world’s best music in a one-off “Best Of Brass” concert.<\/p>\n

Last year the Wondai and District Brass Band were announced as the runners-up in the Concert Program section of the Queensland Brass Band Competition held at Nambour.<\/p>\n

It was a remarkable achievement, given the band hadn’t taken part in the competition for the past 19 years.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast City Brass Band, for their part, have an ancestry even longer than the Wondai band.<\/p>\n

They were formed in 1902 as the Nerang Town Band and have performed at Gold Coast events for the past 115 years.<\/p>\n

They’ve also performed in New Zealand, Tasmania and Singapore, and at festivals in Stanthorpe, Warwick and Murwillumbah.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s joint concert came about because one of the Wondai band’s players is related to one of the Gold Coast players.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This connection fostered an interest amongst Gold Coast band members to travel to the South Burnett, and the ultimate outcome will be a joint concert at the Wondai Diggers Club.<\/p>\n

Both groups will get together in Wondai on Saturday for a rehearsal.<\/p>\n

They’ll be assisted by Greg Aitken from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, who is coming to the region to help the two groups integrate.<\/p>\n

The Sunday performance will begin at 1:30pm.<\/p>\n

Entry is $10 for adults or $8 for concessions, but children will be admitted free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
