The first Music at Midday concert for 2015 is on Wednesday 18th February at noon.
This concert will feature a variety of ensembles from within the band with the intention of showing off Australian Army Band Kapooka’s versatility and highlight the talent of the individuals that make up the band. Jade O’Halloran will be the featured vocalist.
There are four new members of the band this year, two of them have previously been posted here – Dave Matthews (trumpet) and Marcus McCray (saxophone). The other two new members are Brendan Moore (trombone and euphonium) and Jason Mitchell (saxophone).
This will be Major Peter Thomas’ last year as the Music Director (his fifth in total) and he is very excited about presenting his final series of concerts at the Civic Theatre.
Later this year, six musicians from Kapooka (including Major Thomas) will be travelling to Gallipoli for services on Anzac Day and in August to commemorate the battle at Lone Pine.
