We were delighted to host the annual Combined Bands Day and evening concert.
On May 27th, seven colleges attended this wonderful event and 180 students attended.
The afternoon commenced with a workshop directed by well known musician and conductor, Mr Ed Fairlie. The students and staff were given a delicious meal in the Year 9 centre and the day’s hard work concluded with a very entertaining concert.
I would like to thank my wonderful colleagues who assisted with the day and concert.
Firstly, to my musical colleagues who prepared the students so well. They worked very hard but I am sure, enjoyed every second. I sincerely want to thank David Peters and the maintenance team, Paul James and the IT team, the fabulous ladies in admin and a very special thank you to Fran Lakey, Tricia McKay and Kim Abbott for their incredible assistance.
Thank you to our Arts Captain, Storm Randall, who compered the show so professionally. Thanks also to Paul Lewis for all his support. This was certainly a huge event and successful due only to the team effort.
We were very proud of our students and also the student leaders who guided the guests to the MPC. They represented our College beautifully.
We had so many compliments about our College and the magnificent venue. Most of our guests had never visited our College so I was very proud to show off what we have! We were so nervous that due to the impending lockdown the event would be cancelled. Luckily we scraped it in at the last hour. It felt very much like the last Supper! What a way to start a lockdown.
Thank you again to everyone.
The Piano Bar was the perfect venue recently for the VCE Music Soiree. The fairy lights, smoke machine and food added to the success of the evening. Parents, friends and staff were entertained as the VCE music students, both Units 1 and 3, performed their Semester One works.
Mrs Brown and I were very proud of each student. It certainly isn’t easy to perform in public, especially after our covid experience last year when we couldn’t perform at all.
Many thanks to Andy Pobjoy and his staff who looked after us incredibly well.
Sadly, our recital was postponed until next term. Ms Zhao and her students have been working enthusiastically and look forward to the public speaking recital, with the new date to be confirmed.
A date has been set for our annual Instrumental Night. This year it will be held on Tuesday 3rd August at 7pm in our Multi Purpose Centre.
More information will be sent to performing students early next term.
Students who would like to learn an instrument or take public speaking lessons must have their form signed and submitted before next Friday June 25th.
Forms can be obtained from the front office or by emailing me.
Fingers crossed, we shall be seeing many parents and friends at our future concerts. Dates will be sent out early next term when we have more directions re hosting events.
Have a great break.
Regards,
Linda Pape Performance and Instrumental Coordinator
