End of Term Concert, September 2004
The Brisbane Excelsior Learners Group combined with Sunnybank No. 3 on Sunday 12 September to hold an end of term concert.
The concert was held in Topp Hall of the Windsor School of Arts, 409 Lutwyche Rd., Windsor.
The Excelsior Juniors were conducted by Lindon Weise, and Sunnybank No. 3 band was conducted by John Guiton.
The young musicians played to a 'full house' - not bad for their first ever public performance.
