FCIP

The cultural activities in which I am involved have influenced my life and learning from the day I started at Mt A.  On day one, I was already playing the violin and I knew that I was definitely going to join the choir.  Music is my love - my passion - and always will be.  Whether it be in rehearsal or when I am performing, I just love the atmosphere and the energy making music as a group brings - I truly couldn't imagine my school years without it!

Term 3 is always jam packed in the world of music at Mt A.  This term started off with the annual FCIP junior/intermediate music camp, which I know worked wonders with regards to improved playing skills as well as forming new friendships.  This term also brings a series of concerts for all string players.  I personally enjoy these concerts as they showcase what we have been working on all year long, and gives the parents an insight into our rehearsals.  Senior Chamber Strings also had their first gig the other night, and I know they did the FCIP proud.  The Concert Bands are rehearsing in preparation for Catholic Colleges this weekend.  The Rock Band has also been preparing for numerous performances and they are sounding great!

All musicians have been working hard in rehearsals and I am sure they will do Mt A, FCIP, and their parents proud.

Beginner Strings Concert is on Monday 19 August, at 6.30pm in the  St Anthony's Hall.

Junior Strings Concert is Wednesday 28 August, at 6.30pm in the St Anthony's Hall.
