Musical Notes

This coming fortnight we continue to prepare for many forthcoming events and first performances of the year. I would like to congratulate Stage Band 1 for their first performance of the year at the Laureate Assembly on Monday.

Open Day

This week a letter will be sent home to students involved in Stage Bands 1 and 2, Concert Band 1, Big Band Theory and some selected soloists. Open Day will occur on Wednesday 14 March and students will need to arrive back at school in their summer uniform at the allocated times. Spare copies of letters can be found in the Documents section of SEQTA or available from Ms Anastasia Lambis in the Front Office.

TRUTH Fringe Performance

Our Stage 2 and Old Scholar Drama students have been busily preparing for their performance in the Adelaide Fringe. The Blackfriars Players will be performing a play written by Karen Sierp entitled “TRUTH” at the Parks Community Centre on Thursday 1 and Friday 2 March. Please check the Promo Package on the School’s Facebook page as well as at:
