Our Senior Stage Band placed second at South St this week.

This week our Symphonic Winds Ensemble and Senior Stage Band performed at the Royal South Street Society Ballarat Eisteddfod. This was purely for feedback and placings, and we had some pleasing results! 

 

In a very competitive section with nine bands, Symphonic Winds placed fifth — not very many points behind the winners and the place getters. Once again the performance was terrific and constantly the adjudicator mentioned the high quality sound from such a small ensemble.

 

Meanwhile, the Senior Stage Band led by Mr Tim Snibson did a terrific job finishing second by the narrowest of margins — just one point! Once again, the adjudicator was very complimentary about many aspects of the performance, particularly the tone, blend and fine solos. 

 

A huge congratulations to all students who took to the stage. What a year it's been for these ensembles!
