Ensembles

The Rookie Band and Junior Strings Orchestra are now up and running and join the rest of the Music Programs weekly rehearsal itinerary. We've been so impressed so far this year with the attendance and commitment of our students who have been showing up to before and after school rehearsals in the lead up to our annual Autumn Concert held on May 11th. 

Well done to all our Music students!
