The Horsham Rural City Band, which has been a mainstay at many public events in the region, was formed back in 1872 by Thomas Power as the Horsham Brass Band, and was renamed to the Rural City Band in the 1990s.
Over time, the bands membership, style and instruments have been subject to much change as members come and go, something the concert plans to celebrate.
It will also be an opportunity for friends, family members and Horsham supporters of 'live' music to come along and support the Band and welcome them onto the 'big stage' at the Horsham Town Hall.
The event will be hosted at the Horsham Town Hall Theatre on Sunday, May 29, 2pm. Funds raised from the night will go towards the Wimmera Base Hospital.
Tickets will be available on the Horsham Town Hall website www.horshamtownhall.com.au.
