CNL Brass responded to an invitation from Waratah Brass for both bands to present A Brass Christmas Concert. This commenced at 2pm and concluded at 4.30pm. The music chosen was mainly that associated with Christmas, such as well-known Christmas Carols and Christmas Tunes. Members of the audience were encouraged to sing when the carols were played. The “audience choir” (of which there were about one hundred and thirty) responded and obviously enjoyed the opportunity to accompany both bands.
