Carols with a bang
FAMILIES, friends, schools and community groups gathered together on Saturday night for the annual Carols at the Drome.
Carollers descended on the Leongatha Velodrome where local performers hailed in the festive season.
Leongatha Primary School and Chairo Christian School students combined to perform in a stunning choir accompanied by the South Gippsland Shire Brass Band with guests from the Wonthaggi Citizens Band.
South Gippsland Shire Councillor Nigel Hutchinson-Brooks welcomed guests to the event and wished everyone a merry Christmas on behalf of council.
“We wish you all a wonderful Christmas season and would like to thank St John’s Ambulance, SES and all volunteers who helped to put together another successful evening of carols,” he said.
Master of ceremonies Russell Hemming entertained the crowd with his glorious vocals, along with guest performers Alliza Miel, Lachlan Moore and Tilly Johnson.
Mr Hemming closed the evening with a fantastic performance of We Wish You a Merry Christmas followed by a fireworks display that could be seen from across the town.
