Senior Strings tour

The Northcote High School Senior String Orchestra has recently completed a three-day music tour

of Phillip Island. We performed at a number of different locations including two schools, the famous

Phillip Island Penguin Parade and an aged care home. Our trip began in fabulous fashion when we

played for the wonderful students of Thornbury Primary School. They were a very responsive

audience and loved to hear some of the old favourites such as Thriller, The Pirates of the

Caribbean and Harry Potter. We then set off for the country and made our second stop at Lam Lam

Primary School. Finally, a beautiful dinner courtesy of Mr Perry rounded off a great first day. On the

second we toured the island: visiting a chocolate factory, racing go-karts on a scaled replica of the

P.I grand prix track and battling it out for bragging rights playing laser tag. (Shout out to Ben

Murphy who took top honours in both events) Our final two performances were at the penguin

parade, where we were lucky enough to have a great view of the little birds, and at an aged care

home, where the old people thoroughly enjoyed some of our more traditional songs. Overall the

tour was an incredible experience and a great opportunity for all of us to expand our musical

knowledge through three days of intensive work. We all had a wonderful time (many even

commented that it felt more like a holiday than a camp) and are very grateful for the hard work and

dedication of Ms Lum, Ms Brogan and Mr Perry.
