Year 7 & 8 'Virtual Open Mic Night' 

An Open Mic Night is a chance for you to get up and perform a song or piece of music for your friends and peers. Due to the restrictions in place for COVID-19, we are asking for video submissions for the first KWS ‘Virtual Open Mic Night’! 

Students in Year 7 and 8 are encouraged to submit a video featuring a solo or small group performance (remember to social distance). You can choose any style of music.

The videos will be collated by the Music Department, and a link will be made available for a few days to stream the Virtual Open Mic performances, from early Week 9.

• Videos must be no more than 3 minutes long.
• Submissions have now been extended, and now must be received before 9:00pm on Saturday 20 June (end Week 8).
• Submissions must be uploaded to the ‘Virtual Open Mic’ tab found at the top of the Year7_2020 or Year8_2020 Teams page.

We’re looking forward to hearing your performances! If you’ve got any questions, speak to Mr Key, Mrs McRae or Mrs Shields. 

Year 10 Music

Ollie Charlton, Liam Bracks, James Crisp, Will Englund and Ben Hoskins-Murphy have been spending their lunchtimes jamming in the music rooms and writing their own music. Here are the boys playing an excerpt from Comfortably Numb, by Pink Floyd.

PianoForte Concert

Some of our advanced piano students performed in a live streamed concert last Friday.  Greta Seymour, Eliza Ward and Elizabeth Kwa joined piano staff from KWS and Orange Regional Conservatorium of Music.
