The team consists of more than 40 middle-aged and elderly performers. They can sing solo, with a small chorus, and large chorus. At the same time, a waist drum team of higher level was formed. Every week, the team will properly rehearse at Granville Town Hall, learn to sing every song and beat every drum.
In recent years, the team can be seen in many communities and churches in Sydney. In particular, the “Australian National Anthem” sung in English has been sung in many corners of Sydney. It has been praised by various departments. One councillor praised: “The national anthem sung in English, with standard pronunciation and good singing, is rare in the entire Chinese community. It is a unique existence. It has really integrated into Australian life.”
