Instrumental/Vocal Concert Season 2

Last week was an exciting time for 180 of the College’s musicians, who featured in nine concerts held across the Yirramboi and Canowindra campuses. The performances predominantly showcased individual students and the progress they have made through their instrumental and vocal lessons. On Tuesday, the Year 7–12 Vocal Concert culminated in a performance by the Senior School Choir.

 

It was a delight to watch students from Prep to Year 12 take to the stage. Whether performing in their first concert or their last, students demonstrated confidence and pride in their achievements. Their sense of accomplishment was evident, making the concerts a wonderful celebration of their musical learning and development.

 

Thank you to the families, friends and teachers who attended, to the music staff who provide individual lessons and to Mr David Bennett and the VET Sound Production class for facilitating sound at the Tuesday concert.
