Casterton tests positive for talent in band’s quest for the best

Generations of talent ... AT 89 and after 75 years’ performing with the Casterton Vice Regal Band, Harry Cottier is an old-hand in front of an audience and Sunday’s ‘Casterton’s Got Talent’ proves the apples don’t fall far from the tree. Harry and granddaughters Ava, 6 and Isabella, 9, won the vocal and band section of the talent quest, which drew an impressive crowd to the Town Hall last Sunday afternoon. Photo: KRISTY MCDONALD
