Sessions on Winds, Strings, Guitar, Piano, Percussion, Small Ensembles, Composition and Voice are held across the John XXIII Campus, as we celebrate the gifts of our students in a supportive and energetic environment. Students are encouraged to wear their House Shirts (with either jeans, College sports shorts or pants, or other pants appropriate for public performances (no leggings) for the Eisteddfod, to celebrate their contributions towards their House awards.

Students who may find themselves scheduled for concurrent sessions can report to a staff member, to move their performances earlier or later in the session to accommodate. A full program of performers will be available at each Eisteddfod venue.
