Band Recruitment Night

Wednesday 20th February! 6pm

All Year 7 students (and other students who may be interested,) finally have the opportunity to do what so many successful students have done before them, Be Part of the Band!

We know that for many students/parents, this will be your first exposure to music education and I wanted to take a brief minute to share some information with you.

On Wednesday 20th February, at 6pm in the hall, we will be running our annual Band Recruitment Night. This is a time where you and your child can explore the different instruments and get help choosing the instrument that will give them the best chance of success.  If you are unable to attend, you can contact me for further information at school.

Music education is more than just playing an instrument. It is immersing your child in a culture of successful students and teachers who care about education. It challenges each child to use the creative side of his brain while, at the same time, learning a foreign language…MUSIC.

All of the current data clearly states that students involved in music education academically out perform their non-musical counterparts. But, more importantly, studies are showing that music students are less likely to engage in risky behaviors such as drugs and alcohol.

Every destination starts with a decision to embark on a journey.  Now is the time to start your child in music and Shepparton High School is the place to do it. We can’t promise that every child will be a musical prodigy, but we can promise they will learn, laugh, and grow along the way.

Should you have any questions about band or your child’s participation, please feel free to contact me at school on 58214322 or email gallacher.lachlan.r@edumail.vic.gov.au.
