🎶The Arts
Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival
After a busy seven weeks the Performing Arts Festival is over for another year. We are very proud of all the boys who performed throughout the festival. For the Year 8 band it was their debut performance which meant for many of them, their first time performing in front of an audience. Some of the older and more experienced students performed solos as well as being in many ensembles.
We had 93 performers in 54 performances at various venues around Perth.
The list below shows the 36 certificates received.
Last Friday Alexander T performed his electric guitar solo Blues for John in a play-off for the Oblates of Mary Immaculate Instrumental Solo (secondary) shield and we are very proud and excited to announce that he won! His performance was considered the best of all the instrumental solos, not just guitar. Alexander will receive the shield and perform at the Performing Arts Festival concert on Monday night.
Well done to all the boys who took part and thank you to their parents for their support through this busy time.
Thank you also to our tutors who prepared the boys for their various performances.

For us, the culmination of the festival, is our Best of the Fest concert which we held last Friday evening. The gym was full of families and friends who enjoyed the artwork on display as well as being entertained by our talented students. It was a fitting way to finish what has been a very successful festival for us all.
