GENERATIONS IN JAZZ 2016

Over the weekend our Senior Stage Band, Intermediate Stage Band and Senior Vocal group participated in the annual Generations in Jazz competition. The competition involves over 6000 students from all around Australia and New Zealand and took place in Mt Gambier. The students involved have been working hard all year (and in some instances, last year too) on their performance pieces. The weekend was a huge success, all three groups performed at their best and the adjudication reflected this.

Results:

Division 1 “Superband” (the musicians the adjudicators select as being the best in Division one Stage Bands section)

Dylan Vogel- 1st trumpet

Joshua Torcasio- 1st alto saxophone

Division 3 “Superband” (the musicians the adjudicators select as being the best in Division three Stage Bands section)

Anthony Cavalieri – Guitar

Future Finalist (6 students chosen from all Division one musicians as being the best improvisers)

Calllum McKinnon-Mintzis

Golden mouthpiece recipient (best trumpet player in Division 1- a prestigious award that is not given every year, only when truly deserving)

Dylan Vogel

Divison 1 Stage Bands

3rd place- NHS Senior Stage Band

The results reflect the dedication and passion of the Directors and students of these ensembles.
