A Busy and Successful Season for Music

The Music Department has had a wonderfully busy few weeks, with two major concerts giving students across the school the chance to shine on stage.

Senior Music Night showcased the talent and dedication of our Year 10 to 12 Music students, with a program of impressive solo performances from Year 11 and 12 students. The evening also included premiere performances of original compositions written by Year 12 Music Explorations students, a wonderful opportunity for the audience to hear brand-new music straight from the minds of our senior composers. Midway through the program, the Year 10 Music class took to the stage, delighting the crowd with a number from Six the Musical.

The second recent concert celebrated the achievements of our Year 7 cohort, with every class that has studied Music this semester performing on the night. The Year 7 Band Program is a woodwind and brass immersion experience, where students learn an instrument in small groups under the guidance of a specialist teacher, before coming together each week to form a class ensemble.

On the night, students proudly presented and performed in their small instrumental groups, then joined together as full classes to showcase their progress. The concert built to an energetic finale, with every Year 7 class combining for a rousing performance of Power Rock.

The evening also featured a performance from the Middle School Concert Band, giving our Year 7 musicians and their families a glimpse of the pathways and opportunities available to students who continue their musical journey on their instrument.

With these two concerts behind them, the Music Department is now turning its attention to the upcoming Sunday Soiree concerts, where our private instrumental and vocal students will take to the stage. We look forward to seeing the community there to support these talented performers.
