Music - Week 17
Music Eisteddfod
Congratulations to over 350 young musicians who performed in the annual Music Eisteddfod. Our external adjudicators made specific comments about, not only the students’ fantastic level of musicianship and polished performances but, also their friendly and confident attitude. After a highly successful two days, we are pleased to announce that the winning house of the annual Music Shield is Loreto House. Congratulations!
From amongst the huge number of entries, the adjudicators highlighted several students deserving Special Mentions and, some as Outstanding Performers in their category. Congratulations to these students (listed below).
A Winner’s Concert will be held this Sunday 16 June at 5:30pm in the GBLT, where trophies and medals will be awarded to Outstanding Performer and Special Mention students. All are welcome to attend.

Sydney Music Tour – Performance Uniform Trousers
Any Music Tour students who missed their sizing of Performance Uniform trousers must attend the Music Office as a matter of urgency to do so.
Music Camp
A reminder that all secondary students attending Music Camp this Friday 21 June to Sunday 23 June must bring their clearly labelled luggage, sleeping bag/pillow and instruments to the Performing Arts Centre on Thursday 20 June by 8:30am in order for it to be transported to New Norcia.
Performance Uniform Sizing
All Secondary Music Ensembles will transition to a Music Performance Uniform over the course of the following term. Students attending Tour will premiere the uniform in Sydney while, all other ensembles will perform in the new uniforms for Spring Soiree in Term 3.
Sizing and purchasing uniforms can be arranged through the Music Department up until the end of Term 2 for $125 (which includes a jacket and trousers), after which they will be available through the Uniform Shop (prices at that later stage may be subject to change). Students may attend the Music Office during any out-of-class time to try on uniforms.
Please contact the Music Department with any questions.
