THE Innisfail Community Band which commenced around 12 years ago, now has an Honorary Patron after the nomination and subsequent acceptance of Member for Hill Shane Knuth.

Group representative Richard Graham commented that band members recently decided to investigate appointment of a Patron for the group.

“A couple of members discussed the idea of a Patron and from then on it was an extremely easy decision to nominate Shane Knuth.

Shane is not only a great advocate for our group but also for the Arts in general. He has supported a full range of local projects we have been involved in and always takes the time to come and see us at performances and rehearsals.”

Knuth happily accepted the group’s unanimous nomination and received a special plaque in recognition of his advocacy and support.
