The Heathcote RSL\u2019s black-tie ball is bringing a touch of glamour to the region on Saturday 12 August.<\/p>\n
With music from the Australian Army Band and a three-course dinner, it\u2019s a chance to frock up and join in the fun.<\/p>\n
Heathcote RSL Sub Branch vice president Miles Humphrey said it was the organisation\u2019s fifth ball and there\u2019d been a two-year hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID restrictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe went back to it last year and it was fantastic,\u201d he said. \u201cWe’re looking forward to doing it again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Australian Army Band is coming up from Melbourne and the entertainment is absolutely first class.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a 10-piece jazz ensemble, they start the night with background music while people are eating and as the evening progresses it ramps up with tunes from the 50s, 60s, popular rock and roll, and some slower numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Humphrey said it was music to get people up out of their seats while the meal was professionally catered served at the tables.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter people have eaten the dance floor is full,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve used the same caterer for the last few years and they’re really good.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s fairly informal overall, people get dressed up because it’s black tie and there are dress standards, but other than a quick speech at the beginning of the night to tell everybody what’s going on people just mingle and have a great time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe intentionally keep the price really cheap for what it is, an equivalent night anywhere else you’re looking at $160 plus per head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tickets for the ball are $60, to book call 0409 767 582.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
