Program for Sunday 3 February: Royal Military College Band with Jumptown Swing
Apart from its ceremonial responsibilities, the Band of the Royal Military College, Duntroon – RMC Band, performs as a mighty concert band. It is one of Australia’s premier military bands and at summer sounds they’ll delight all music lovers. This celebration of the Big Band sound will be delivered with military precision.
The RMC Band will team up with Canberra Swing Dance Troup, Jumptown Swing, for a show and dance class not to be missed. Jumptown Swing is a not-for-profit organisation who have inspired and taught hundreds of students to swing dance in Canberra for more than 10 years. They run fun, friendly and beginner swing dance classes. Swing dancing is a great way to meet new people and keep fit.
Concerts are held on the Eucalypt Lawn at the Gardens in Clunies Ross Street, Acton, on the lower slopes of Black Mountain. Entertainment starts at 5.00 pm, with the concert performances starting at 6pm and finishing at 7.30.
A complimentary assistance vehicle will operate from the car park areas to the Eucalypt Lawn. This service will operate both ways from 4:30 pm and concludes at 8.00 pm.
Bring a picnic or enjoy food and drinks for sale on site.
