VCE Farewell Concert 

It was a lovely night for our nine VCE musos.  These girls have given an enormous amount to the Music Department and the school community in general with their music making over the past 6 years. They have contributed to all the ensembles, several of them in multiple groups and I'm sure have drawn great satisfaction at seeing and listening to the younger students who stand ready to take their place. My thanks go to Mikayla Lowther and Angel Chau as Music Captains this year. Leadership comes in many forms but in music a lot of it comes from participation, example and enthusiasm and both girls have shown these qualities all year. My thanks also go to Vivien Nguyen, Joanna Guelas, Casey Li, Sarah Lui, Ponsruthi Ponnarasu, Angelina Bun and Maya Micallef. It has been great to share your journey in music for a short time. There will be many years of music making and appreciation to come. Bravo the Year 12s!

Honk - The Mini World Wide Tour 2019

 

 

An excited hall full of students at Resurrection Primary School. Friday afternoon after lunch. What could possibly go wrong? This was a gig that even the most seasoned entertainers would think twice about. But not HONK. Our girls performed beautifully, entertaining the whole school with great demonstrations on their instruments and fine ensemble playing. With repertoire like the theme from the Magnificent 7, C-Jam Blues and Malaguena not to mention Tequila, Ode to Joy, Cold Duck Time, Another One Bites the Dust, HONK once again showed Killester off to more of our young prospective students. Girls will be coming to Killester now wanting to join a band like this and thus the power of music is handed from year level to year level. Well done girls!
