Performing Arts

On Thursday September 19th Wangaratta High School had the honour of hosting the inaugural North-East Victorian Region Music Ensemble Day in our very own Performing Arts Centre. 

It was a day designed to bring together and showcase the variety of music programs being run across North-Eastern Victoria. With 16 Schools from Corryong to Yea performing a broad range of music in different styles and groups, we had a fabulously diverse and inspiring day. 

Live performances are hugely important in music education. It is often both incredibly nerve wracking and exhilarating to perform in from of a large audience but it’s a chance for these students who have been working hard all year (and some for many years before this year) to showcase their hard work and their talent. 

An event like this is also a great opportunity for our young musicians to network and meet other young musicians – to compare and collaborate, to gain ideas, and take inspiration from one another. 

We’re very proud of our Symphonic Band who opened the event and gave an excellent performance.  Well done to everyone involved!!
