(Supporters -  November 2006)

This is the third of our information letters to you this year, the first being the subscription and concert information brochures sent to you earlier in the year. That pamphlet included detail of our concert series for 2006 and information on ticket pricing. This letter is reminding you of the third of those concerts, titled:

 

“Lord of the Brass”. 

 

When: Sunday 19th November

Time: 2.00pm

Where: Laycock St. Theatre

Cost: Adults $20, Concession $15, Children $10,
Family $55 (2 x adults + 2 x children)

Bookings 4323 3233

 

This show promises to be first rate entertainment. The band will present a narrated story that leads us on a quest to find the “Lord of the Brass”.

 

Which of the instruments in the band will be the Lord of the Brass? Characters such as James Bond 007, Darth Vader, the Mystery Fiddler, Jack Sparrow, Harry Potter, Gandalf the Great, Frodo, Bob the Builder and Miss Piggy all intervene or help to solve the puzzle. Come and be absorbed in this tale of magic, wizardry, mystery, adventure and humour. An afternoon of fun and fantastic music awaits you.

 

We would be pleased if you would pass this information on to friends or family and encourage them to attend our concert. Perhaps you have friends that might enjoy our music and would also like to be on our mailing list, please pass on the enclosed form to a friend and have them post it back to us at:
