FYCB Silent Anzac Tour

FYCB are thrilled to announce that we are heading overseas with our Silent Anzac Show!! For the first time since 1975, we will be heading to foreign shores – with performances and workshops planned for France, Belgium and the UK. We were thrilled to hold the launch of our Silent Anzac Tour last Thursday at the Maribyrnong Council Buildings. Special guests included the Mayor and Councillors of Maribyrnong, local business owners including Dimmeys, representatives from the Myer and Pratt Foundations, and other band and community supporters. We’ll be launching a special website very soon to share tour updates and information in the lead up to our November departure. We will also be holding a number of fundraising events with the first, a major fundraising performance at the Box Hill Town Hall on April 28th. Stay tuned for more details, and get your cheque books ready as we will soon be able to accept tax deductible donations to help get us to Europe! Many thanks to the following for a successful launch last Thursday: Maribyrnong Council, David Palmer, Margaret Brett, Lorraine Wright and John Hoppe, and finally our amazing band Secretary Colin Harrison, and MD Phillipa Edwards. Also huge thanks to the amazing performances from Danielle Matthews and Jamie Lawson. Here are some happy snaps from the evening, photo credit: Kevin Bergin
