Vermont Secondary College
As Term 2 comes to a close, we want to thank all staff, students and parents for your dedication to Instrumental music tuition. Despite many interruptions, the bands are now back rehearsing and sounding fantastic. We are looking forward in hope for Term 3’s very full program of performances.
STRING SOIREE
THE MUSIC CENTRE
Date: MONDAY JULY 19th
Time: 6:30PM - 8PM
We invite you to share an intimate night of music performances by our String students.
The String Soiree will showcase the hard work and dedication of our Music students and their progress on the Violin, Viola and Cello. This event, hosted by Ms. Imogen Willson and Ms. Monica Ha, is a great chance for parents and friends of the college community to come to hear some great music, to meet with other parents and Music Staff and most importantly, to show our support for our students.
The event will commence at 6:30pm and should be wrapped up by around 8pm.

The VICTORIAN SCHOOLS MUSIC FESTIVAL
The VSMF is running again this year and we have entered our Concert band, Symphonic band and Stage band to be part of the Program.
Students involved will catch a bus from Vermont to the Hawthorn Town Hall where they will perform for assessors, receive feedback from special guest Conductors and be part of the audience for other schools in the same category. We will then catch a bus back to Vermont for dismissal. Please be aware of the dates and times as they are outside of regular school hours.
