Excitement in the performing arts

College Has Got Talent (CHGT): what a hit.  Congratulations to all the performers and the wonderful audience that delighted the night.  CHGT only added to the expectation and excitement that builds this week with the annual House Music competition this Friday.  Celebrity Judge, Axle Whitehead, aka The Masked Singer’s ‘The Mullet’ is waiting to cast his professional eye and ear over the final performances. 

Next week, we have three standout events that we invite you to attend. On Monday at 6 pm, our three Unit 4 VCE Music Performance students will present their programs in a VCE Soiree. On Tuesday, many of our string players will sit AMEB examinations as soloists and in ensembles (no audience for this one). Also, on Tuesday, at 2 pm, you are invited to join us once again in the Simons Auditorium for the Year 7 Music Program solos concert.
