Dunedin RSA Choir members had a packed Anzac Day, beginning with the Dawn Service and culminating in the Anzac Revue concert at Knox Church at night.

The choir was supported by the St Kilda Brass Band, accompanists Sandra Crawshaw and Jessica Dunbar (piano) and Carolyn Schmid (organ), Dunedin Star Singers conducted by Rosemary Tarbotton, tenor Jesse Hanan and soprano Rhiannon Cooper.

The varied programme, directed by Karen Knudsen and compered by Kevin Tansley, found favour with the audience and culminated in a stirring rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

During the concert, life memberships of the RSA choir were presented to long-serving members David Coulter (47 years), Ian Griffith (40 years), Kevin Tansley (39 years) and David More (30 years).
