Carols in Leongatha draws closer
IT’S that time of year again and preparations are well underway for the annual Carols in the Drome concert in Leongatha.
So keep the date, Saturday, December 10 free a night where the whole community comes together.
The event will once again be hosted by the much loved local Russell Hemming with an even longer list of talented guest soloists including Kerryn Lockhart, Aaron Gale, Jackson Patterson and Ashley Geary, plus performances by the South Gippsland Shire Brass Band, Beggs to Differ, the combined schools choir, the Mary MacKillop choir, combined churches choir, Leongatha Centre children and more.
The South Gippsland Shire Brass Band, which has been performing Carols in Leongatha since 1968, will once again be accompanying the singers.
Band president Natalie Stewart said, “This is one of the band’s biggest events of the year and we always look forward to playing in front of a big crowd.
“It’s even more special this year for us as we are welcoming a new generation of players into the band.
“We have a group of beginners who will be joining us on stage to help us play a few songs. This will be their first big concert and we are all extremely proud of how far they have come.”
The evening starts off with free activities at 5.30pm for the children; face painting, games, jumping castle etc. Carols start at approx. 7pm with fireworks topping off the night at around 9.30pm.

“We would like to thank Chairo, Ezyas Car Wash, Ryan’s Trucks, South Gippsland Shire and The Star newspaper for their generous continued support in helping us put on this event,” Natalie said.
