First free concert of year
THE first free concert of the year at the Yungaburra Rotunda will take place early next month.
The Sunday in the Park concert, hosted by the Yungaburra Community Rotunda, will feature one of the region’s well-known groups, the United Tableland Pipe Band.
This local band participates in ANZAC Day, VP Day, and community events.
The United Tableland Pipe Band also collaborates with other local bands for various performances, including Cairns RSL Pipes and Drums, the Atherton Hot Shots, St Andrews Musical nights in Cairns, local shows, rodeos, and street marches.
In 2019, band members joined the massed community band at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Sydney, performing at the Sydney Olympic Stadium to an audience of 35,000 people.
They play traditional pipe music with occasional international tunes or bagpipe covers of popular songs.
The concert will be performed on Sunday, 9 February from 3pm-5pm.
This is a family-friendly free event, and if patrons wish, they can donate directly to the band.
Remember to bring along a chair, blanket, or rug.
Refreshments are available from nearby shops. Parking is available via Short Street. In case of rain, the alternative venue will be the Yungaburra Rec Shed, Barrine Road (next to tennis courts).
