Music - Week 29

Primary Open Night

Primary Ensembles will be entertaining visitors to the College at the annual Primary Open Night with their wonderful music-making! Performances include:

• 5:00 – 5:30pm: Year 5 Band and Primary Band (Library Courtyard)
• 5:45 – 6:15pm: Mini Minors and String Orchestra (Library Courtyard)
• 6:30 – 7:00pm: Wanju Voices and Primary Singers (Library)

Students are to meet their ensemble directors 15 minutes before their performance in order to set up and tune instruments. We look forward to performing for you!

The Australian Girls Choir

We are very fortunate to have a representative from The Australian Girls Choir running a workshop at John XXIII College. This will take place in Thursday 26 September at lunch time. All girls from Pre-Primary to Year 6 are invited to attend. Please ensure permission slips are returned by Thursday 19 September. For further information or an emailed copy of the information letter and permission slip, please contact Mrs Haydon (catherine.haydon@cewa.edu.au).

Change of Dates

Please note the following changes to the Performing Arts Calendar:

• The Small Ensemble Soiree will not be held this year, due to ensemble commitments to Pilgrimage and Year 12 Exams. These ensembles will perform, instead, in the Year Level Recitals commencing in Term 3 Week 9.
• The Year 11 Recital Night has been changed to Sunday 27 October, from 5pm in the GLBT.
• Grandparents’ Picnic has been changed to Thursday 17 October in the Library Courtyard.

Spring Soiree

The Spring Soiree is an annual celebration of the College’s large ensembles. Congratulations to all involved in this fantastic event. We also took the time to recognise the Year 12 musicians and thank them for their commitments and contributions to music at the College.
