Performing Arts

The busy start to Term 4 has continued with many students preparing for music performance examinations, both AMEB and SCSM.

Year 5 & Year 6 Concerts

A highlight of each year are the Year 5 and Year 6 Concerts, where the whole year level performs and shows their progress in the Instrumental Programs. The Year 5 Concert featured each section demonstrating how to play the instrument and band pieces presented by the whole cohort. The Junior Concert Band and Senior Concert Band also motivated the Year 5s with their exciting performances.

The Year 6 Concert was exceptional, with each section performing an ensemble piece. The whole year level presented a wide range of Intermediate Concert Band repertoire and were treated to performances from Sinfonia and Senior Concert Band, ensembles they will have the opportunity to join in Year 7. The Senior and Junior Concert Bands also combined in a special performance.

Year 7 Concert

The following night featured the Year 7 students in their concert. Students who had only commenced learning their instrument this year astounded the audience with what they had achieved in a short amount of time, featuring strings, brass, woodwind and percussion. The Year 7 Band, comprising students who had been learning their band instrument for 3 years, performed a range of music to a high standard. Students and audience alike were also treated to performances from Sinfonia, Senior Concert Band, Sforzando, Forte and Cantabile. The final item was the whole of Year 7 Orchestra, conducted by Miss Sasuga, performing an arrangement of Ode to Joy.

Auditions have commenced for next year’s Senior Production, Disney's Newsies. Students have been showing their skills in singing, dancing and acting, and these will continue through the next weeks.

Rehearsals for Presentation Evening and Final Assembly will intensify soon, and there are some other end of year performances to look forward to.
