Legacy Remembrance Day Concert The annual Legacy Remembrance Day Concert, featuring the Sunshine Coast Concert Band, will be held at the Lifepointe Baptist Centre, Wises Rd, at 2pm, on Saturday 9th November 2013. The theme this year is the Battle of Britain which will include the stirring march Aces High. In addition there will be a tribute titled Our Countrys Call with words written and sung by Alan Winter. A quartet will sing the moving song Only Remembered by Coope, Boyes & Simpson from the Warhorse stage play. This year, an Andrews Sisters act will make an appearance performing old favourites, including Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Dont sit under the apple tree. The concert will also feature the Vera Lynn favourite That Lovely Weekend along with plenty of war-time favourites as well as selections from the Big Band era of Swing and Jazz. Ken Chadwick OAM is the Music Director of this extremely talented band, and in keeping with the traditions of wartime songs, the audience will be invited and encouraged to sing-along with singers - Bev Gourlay, Alan Winter and Aart Schouten. All proceeds from the event will go to Legacy Support Activities, which support over 1,600 widows and families, here on the Sunshine Coast. As a voluntary organisation with very little government funding, Legacy carries on its silent work for over 100,000 widows, children and dependants, Australia wide. Unfortunately, even today, as we see and hear in the news the stories of casualties of Australian servicemen, the work of Legacy will likely continue for some time yet. You too can help those in need by attending the Legacy Remembrance Day Concert at the Lifepointe Baptist Centre, Wises Road Maroochydore on Saturday 9 Nov, commencing with pre-concert entertainment from 1.30. pm Tickets are $15 (which includes a sumptuous afternoon tea), and are available by phoning 5493 5098. Tickets will also be available at the door. This concert is organised by the Sunshine Coast Legacy group, and all proceeds will be directed to Legacy local support activities on the Sunshine Coast.
