The rain came again but the band played on during the Anzac Day march through Morisset. Sound familiar?

With drum major Dr Lynden Rogers again wielding the mace, Avondale Brass Band led the march down Dora Street to the war memorial at the Morisset Country Club, where during the memorial service the band, conducted by lecturer in music Sharon Tolhurst, and sessional lecturer Sue Hart led the singing of the national anthem and several hymns.
