The Choir is singing regularly at Brumbies home games, our annual concerts and other events in and around Canberra and at memorial services in Bungendore as well as at the Australian War Memorial. We continue our association with the Male Choirs Association of Australia with the next concert in Adelaide in May 2025. With the British Lions visiting in 2025, we are also preparing to sing with their choir in August 2025.

Annual Concert Rehearsal 23 Nov
The afternoon will be just to fine tuning of our performance pieces for the Annual Concert on the 30 November. By now you should be aiming to be not using books at rehearsals. So challenge yourself to see how great your knowledge is.
The point of a sectional sessions is to work on details as a section. This helps each section to overcome their challenges and lead by example on the night. Each section has their own challenges, and together we become a strong team.
