Musical Notes

Gen Connection Concert

This Sunday, 7 April at ‘The Gov’, Stage Band 1 and 2, and Senior Vocal will be performing their repertoire as a prelude to Generations in Jazz held in early Term 2. They will be performing alongside other bands and choirs from St Michael's College, Nazareth College and Christian Brothers College. This is a great opportunity for the students to perform their repertoire to an audience before they head off to the competition a few weeks later. This is a lot of the groups’ first performance for the year and it would be a great if everyone could come along and support them.

Prospect Road Autumn Fair

I would like to thank all the boys who performed at the Prospect Road Autumn Fair on Sunday 31 March. Boys involved in groups such as Rockin’ Rhythms, Protocol, Sound Benders and Big Band Theory played a large variety of high standard music that continued throughout the day creating a great atmosphere for the day. In particular I would like to thank Miss Marie Wohling for her time and effort in preparing the bands for the day, it was a great success and great to see so many boys performing in the groups.

John Morrison Guest Conductor

On Wednesday 27 March, Stage Band 1 had the pleasure of rehearsing with world renowned Australian drummer – John Morrison! The boys rose bright and early to have an hour and a half rehearsal with John at school. John had lots of knowledgeable information to give as the band prepare for Generations in Jazz, and the boys were able to take a lot out of the rehearsal. Overall it was a great experience for myself as well as the boys and it was a very enjoyable morning!
