The Committee of the Hastings Primary Schools’ Choir has pleasure in presenting to the public, its ninth Annual Concert.

This year we have pleasure in welcoming 96 new members. The membership of the Choir is at present 194, among whom are 12 third year and 9 fourth year members. Two children have been in the Choir for five and six years respectively.

Miss K. Coles, Conductor, has again entered upon her duties with splendid enthusiasm and the Choir has made excellent progress.

Those who were responsible for the inauguration of the Hastings Primary Schools’ Choir nearly ten years ago, will, we feel, take pride in the fact that to-day the Choir has become an established cultural and educational organisation.

It is a fact, however, that without the splendid support of public spirited citizens an Annual Concert such as this could not be staged in this Theatre.

We accordingly sincerely thank our 70 Associate Members for their interest in the Choir’s activities and for their financial assistance.

It is the hope of the Choir Committee and its Public Representatives that the Children who have found enjoyment in this Schools’ Choir, will form the nucleus of future adult Choral activities in our town.
