Katikati Concert Band has announced its last concert for the year will be Movie Music on November 1 at St Paul’s Presbyterian Church.

Band president Karen Goh said the group would wow audiences with unforgettable songs and themes from some of their favourite movies.

“From the intrigue of Da Vinci’s code to a haunting melody from a missionary’s oboe to the whimsical world of a Japanese neighbour to pulling on your leg warmers and dancing along to an iconic 80s pop hit to the hilarious adventures of the bumbling Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau to marching to one of John Williams’ energetic scores – this concert celebrates the magic and wonder of the movies.”

Goh said the Rotary Club of St Johns Ellerslie in Auckland is offering Christmas puddings for a raffle. “We have four delicious puddings to give away, so be sure to purchase your raffle tickets on the day for a chance to win.”

Raffle tickets will be $2 each or three for $5. “One winner will be drawn for each pudding. Proceeds from the raffle will help support the cost of hiring the concert venue.”

Goh encouraged people to attend to “support our talented local musicians, and enjoy an entertaining afternoon of movie spectaculars”.

“We also gratefully acknowledge our sponsors Katch Katikati, Lions Club of Katikati and Rotary of St Johns Ellerslie.”

Katikati Concert Band’s 2026 Concert Series 3: Movie Music is on November 1 at St Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Katikati. Doors will open at 2.30pm for the 3pm performance.

Tickets cost $10 per adult and free for under-12s.
