Saturday, September 6 is the big day packed with musical events!

Enjoy a special surprise in the main street (near the Westpac Bank) around 9.45am. 

Then make your way up to YRSM itself (15-17 Campbell Street) with the iconic piano keys painted on the roof of the main building, aptly named Noteworthy House.  

Here and two doors down at The Cottage you can enjoy continuous performances and demonstration lessons from 10am to 1.30pm.  

There will be school groups performing, YRSM ensembles large and small, scholarship students and tutors.  

At 11am at The Cottage there will be a special dedication ceremony and other events will come to a halt for 15 minutes.  

Prior to this, Red Cherry Jazz (our senior instrumental ensemble) will be performing outside The Cottage, followed by drum corps and trumpet fanfares.  

After the special dedication, linger longer and hear our largest vocal ensemble, the Choir of the Southern Cross, performing on the verandah steps.

Then it’s back to further performances and demo lessons at both premises.  

Our three Young-based primary schools will have plenty of tucker and drinks for everyone, with coffee, soft drinks, barbecue and more on the front lawn of Noteworthy House.  

Youngsters can also keep busy with face painting and games.

At 2pm, the next celebratory event begins in the Young High School auditorium.  

This is a free concert where you can enjoy a range of performances by past students and tutors – many of whom have travelled interstate and even overseas to be part of the celebrations.

The day’s activities will conclude with the YRSM dinner dance at the Young Services Club at 6.30pm.  

Entry is only with pre-booked 

tickets available at the services club.  

Enjoy a lovely dinner, meet up with past and present YRSM friends and dance the night away to the fabulous Canberra jazz trio As Famous As The Moon.  

And don’t forget the cutting of the anniversary cake!
