Our students presented an impressive music performance at the ABODA SA School Band and Orchestra Festival held last week at Westminster School. 

Emmaus showcased five ensembles, directed by Samantha Penny, Susie Pettitt, and Andrew Verco, competing against over 3000 students from nearly 40 schools in South Australia. It was the most significant festival yet, with 176 ensembles performing over a massive four days! 

Emmaus students proudly received two Gold Awards🥇in Section 8 Junior String Ensemble and Section 9 Intermediate String Ensemble. 

Additionally, our Emmaus ensembles won three Bronze Awards🥉: 

• Senior Chamber Ensemble in Section 10A Advanced String Ensemble. 
• Concert Band in Section 3B Intermediate Concert Band PLUS. 
• Stage Band in Section 6 Intermediate Stage Band. 

Thanks to our college's Music Department staff for their dedication and passion for teaching and training our talented students! 👏
