An Awesome Week

Semester 1 Music Camp took place from Monday 1 to  Wednesday 3 May.

All instrumental students were able to come to school in free dress and spent the days with their ensemble, which was a fantastic opportunity to work on their pieces for the upcoming Mid-year Concert.

The week was finished off with a lunch time concert on the Friday which saw an awesome turnout from all year levels. The bands were super entertaining and did a great job of ending music week!

Don’t Fret (Kew Guitar Ensemble) performed at Hamer Hall as part of the NEVR annual youth concert.

The theme for the night was Dancebeat. In keeping with this theme, Don’t Fret performed their rendition of the classic Inspiration by the Gipsy Kings.

The group practised and rehearsed tirelessly in preparation for the event. Their efforts enabled them to give a fantastic performance in front of a very large audience. The group was thrilled to perform at one of the most prestigious venues in the state. It was an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Well done team!
