Palmwoods Singers

THERE was great excitement for the junior members of the Palmwoods Singers Theatrical Society Inc at their last practice night when the birth of a baby boy, Dehklan, for their teacher Wendy and her husband Russell Southam was announced.

Each child carried home a blue balloon printed with Dehklan’s name. The young folk are thoroughly enjoying learning their songs for the musical ‘The Prince and the Penguins,’ and will soon be auditioning for their roles.

Because of extra university studies their other teacher Nikki has been unable to attend practices, so musical director Marjorie Murray is most appreciative of Kirrilee’s help.

The singers are sad to be losing one of their most involved families, when they depart for Perth. From the parents, Dennis and Veronica Coates who helped in many ways, even taking part in cabarets, to Paul, Mary and Lucy with their lovely voices, Tom as technician, to little Sarah, who made her debut as baby Jesus in the Nativity a couple of Christmases ago, they will be missed.
