VSMF - Victorian Schools Music Festival 

The Year 7 Concert Band, who are directed by Harper Dawson, participated in the Victorian School Music Festival at Hawthorn Town Hall on Thursday, November 16th. It was a fantastic experience for our students, as they had the opportunity to perform in a wonderful venue, were able to receive feedback from Dr. Jo Heaton, an experienced conductor, and had the chance to listen to numerous other school ensembles at a similar stage of instrumental learning.

Next Monday, November 27th, we are holding our Spring Concert. All school ensembles, including the Guitar Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Choir, Year 7 Concert Band, Year 9 Band and Stage Band will be performing. We encourage friends and family who wish to attend to purchase tickets ($5) through the Trybooking button below
