rexcommunity All that Jazz! The 16th Moruya Jazz Festival was a bumper program of musical entertainment across the weekend of 19–21 October, 2012. Rex has sponsored the event for several years, and this time supplied four return air tickets as prizes. Rex Ambassador Max Kingston represented the airline at the event, making numerous speeches, presenting the prizes and participating in the parade. There was a great turnout, with crowd numbers up on previous years. Jazz music fans were definitely not disappointed, thanks to a jam-packed program that kept everyone entertained. Festival-goers enjoyed the Belgian Street Orchestra, the newly formatted Jazz Picnic and the Gospel Singing Concert. All up, there were about 35 jazz combos and six major choirs, including the famous Canberra Barbershop men's group. The funds raised were donated to the Oncology Unit of Moruya Hospital.
