The New Zealand National Youth band will headline Carols at the Marae this Sunday at Tuariki Marae in Te Teko.
The band comprising of members from Eastern Bay Brass will be joined by a local lineup of artists who will perform a
set-list of Christmas Carols throughout the evening.
“We encourage all the community to bring their whanau, a picnic, something comfortable to sit on and come and sing their
Christmas hearts out” Marae Chairman, Mary Hepi says.
The New Zealand National Youth Band comprises of 35 brass and percussion members and a quarter of the band is made up of
members from Eastern Bay Brass’ A Grade Band - the third best brass band in the country. The band are preparing to tour
Australia in January 2019 and fundraising efforts are underway.
“We are excited to support the National Youth Band and have them perform on the Marae, it will be a special occasion to
see and hear.” Mrs Hepi said.
The free event is being organised by the Ngati Tuariki Development Trust who will be selling candles for a gold coin
donation.
Kai Stalls and FREE children's activities will be available.
The event is proudly supported by EastPack and Otakiri Springs.
