Eight talented bands from Drouin Secondary College took to the stage at Drouin's Civic Park at Baw Baw Shire Council's recent Sounds of Summer event.
About 200 people of all ages attended the event, enjoying live music, giant lawn games, food trucks, colouring competitions, face painting and henna art.

Based on the event's success, plans for a 2025 Sounds of Summer celebration are already in the works.
