Instrumental Notes

The instrumental music program has seen much activity over the first half of Term 2.

A big thank you to the Year 6 students who participated in the ANZAC Day ceremony playing Abide With Me to accompany the wreath laying. Your efforts were wonderful!

Junior band students had the opportunity to participate in WAMM Mini. Students were given the opportunity to play in a large ensemble for the first time and learned very important skills such as blending their sound and following the conductor. All students participated fantastically!

Jazz band has commenced this term. Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 7:30am. This ensemble is purely voluntary, and students are able to learn more popular tunes in a smaller ensemble context. If your child is in Combined Band and interested in joining, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Cipollone on rcipo1@eq.edu.au

Students have volunteered to perform at a pop-up concert in Week 4. This involves students rehearsing a solo and then performing it to fellow students during the lunch break. More pop-up concerts will be scheduled for later this term.

Combined Band will perform on the Week 8 assembly, Monday 9 June. All are welcome to attend this performance!

Junior band will have the opportunity to participate in the Junior band afternoon tea at the end of this term. Students will showcase their skills to parents in a relaxed performing environment.
