Co-curricular Arts News

Now is a great time to join one of the choirs at Marist!

As Marist Voices (Years 5-6) and Performance Choir (Years 7-12) have just performed at the Cathedral Concert they are in the process of learning new pieces for our next performance at Soiree! That makes it the perfect time to come along and try choir and join in on the learning process. If you are a keen singer and love to belt out a tune in the car, shower … or anywhere, then choir is for you! You will learn harmony singing skills, performance skills (including some dance and drama skills) and experience performing at exciting events throughout the year. Choir is available for any student to try with Marist Voices rehearsing on Tuesday mornings at 7:25am in the Blue Room and Performance Choir rehearsing on Friday mornings at 7:25am in the Experimental Theatre.
