We also have a band specifically for beginner musicians in Year 7. Over the coming weeks the Music Department will visit all Year 7 classes to explain to them how to get involved in the music program. This will culminate in a Information and Try Out night which will be held in the Music Centre on Wednesday 4 March.

Year 7 students interested in joining our exciting band program and learning to play a musical instrument are invited to attend our Information and Try Out Night which will be held in the Music Centre on Wednesday 4 March, commencing at 7.30pm.
Our Training Concert Band is for students who have had little or no musical experience and we are offering tuition on flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, french horn, euphonium and percussion.
On the night we will provide information on how our program works, and give a recommendation on which is the best choice of instrument for you to play. We will also have a performance from our Junior Concert Band.
