Music Report
18 of our 25 Student Musicians for China
Northcote High School
Off to China
25 Senior Music students will travel to China in early 2017, for a performance tour of a lifetime - Shanghai-Huaibei-Tienjin-Beijing-X'ian and home. It will be 15 days of profound musical, educational and cultural experiences.
Senior Stage Band
Our musicians have been busy performing in our community. The Senior Concert Band entertained park goers at Edinburgh Gardens on a sunny Sunday in March (pictured). The music from the rotunda was varied and appealed to all ages, many families staying for the entire afternoon of music.
Thomas Hewitt, Saro Blaikie, Callum McKinnon-Mintzis and Joshua Robinson performed at the re-opening of the Preston Tram Depot in April (pictured). The group improvised for tram enthusiasts as they waited for the tour of the new depot.
We wish the Senior and Intermediate Stage Bands and the Senior Vocal group all the very best for the competitions next weekend at Generations in Jazz. All three groups have worked extremely hard to prepare for the biggest jazz competition in the world and we are already very proud of their achievements.
