From the Music Department

Last weekend, 43 St Aloysius students, from 3 ensembles travelled to Mount Gambier to participate in Generations in Jazz – and what an incredible weekend it was!

With over 5,000 students from across Australia and New Zealand taking part, it is one of the largest jazz education events in the Southern Hemisphere – and we are proud to say that our students represented us brilliantly on and off the stage.

Some notable achievements from the weekend include:

• Catch 22 placing 2nd in Division 2 Large Vocal
• 3 Stage Band members being selected for the Division 3.2 Super Band – Daisy on Alto Saxophone 1, Imogen on Tenor Saxophone 1 and Gianna on Trumpet 1
• The Jazz Choir Alto Section named Best Alto Section, Division 3.2 Large

Beyond the results, our students had a fabulous weekend soaking up the atmosphere, hearing outstanding performances from bands and choirs from across the country, and enjoying an unforgettable Tower of Power concert.

We couldn’t be prouder of every single one of our 43 students – their dedication, participation, and performances this weekend were something special. Congratulations to all involved!
