Wanaka Musicians Society Inc.
Lights, Camera, Action! Wanaka’s very own
talent show, Stars in Your Eyes, this year's 28th show will run over three nights
in September, audiences will get the chance to
watch locals dress up and perform hits from their
favourite stars. Past performers include ‘Beyoncé’,
‘The Backstreet Boys’ and ‘Shirley Bassey.’
The success of Stars in Your Eyes over the years
has resulted in the Wanaka Musicians Society
Inc. donating approximately $250,000 back to
the community. Each year, schools and other
institutions are invited to submit a ‘wish list’ for
their musical needs which the society endeavours
to satisfy, subject to available funds. In addition to
this, the Society funds a $2,000 Jamie Robertson
Scholarship to a Mount Aspiring College pupil. As a
consequence of last year’s show, over $11,000 was
distributed to local schools and early childhood
centres for the continuing development of
musical education and experience for the
children of our community.
One of the reasons behind the show’s continued
success is due to its non-competitive nature, with
everyone working to the same goal—another
year of quality performances and entertainment.
The society would like to extend their thanks to
audiences and supporters, without whom there
would be no show or funds to disburse.
This year’s show promises to be entertainment
for all ages, with some big name stars taking to
the stage.
