Variety Concert Preparation: Part 1

Posted on by

Plans for the upcoming Band Program Variety Concert are in full swing. The set list is (almost) complete and creative multimedia ideas are flowing thick and fast. Most importantly, the Redbacks and The Tea Tree Gully Concert Band are busy getting the ‘chops’ and fingers into peak condition (a.k.a rehearsing) for the night!

Last Monday night, the Redbacks were pleased to welcome back Rick Williams to the rehearsal room. Rick, a local singer has previously performed with the Redbacks and is one of the guest vocalists for the evening. He surprised us all by whipping out a guitar and tickling the strings, revealing a heretofore hidden talent! As if you needed another great reason to come along to the Concert…

Full details are on the Variety Concert Event Page.

 

The start of 2016

Welcome to the Redbacks News Feed. It has been a busy first half of the year for the band! In February, we travelled to Loxton to provide entertainment for the town’s 59th annual Mardis Gras, a family fun day to raise funds for community projects. We enjoyed strutting our stuff on the hallowed turf of the Adelaide Oval as part of the pre-match entertainment for the Socceroos v Tajikistan World Cup qualifier in March. And as we have done for the last 15 years, we rose before the sun to march with the diggers of our local RSL at the Tea Tree Gully ANZAC Day Dawn Service, before venturing into the city to participate in the Adelaide ANZAC Day parade.
