These concerts are a fun and fantastic way to showcase the musical talent from each of our ensembles.

Therefore, it is expected that all members of every ensemble attend their allocated concert.

CONGRATULATIONS

A huge congratulations must be given to the Stradivari Strings, the Brandenburg Strings and the Junior Band for their achievements at the recent Prestige MusicFest. Both string ensembles were awarded a Silver Award and the Junior Band achieved a Gold Award. Thank you Mrs Eastgate and Mrs Rosewarne for your fantastic efforts in preparing these ensembles for their performances. Students, you should be proud of your achievements.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

Last week, offers of acceptance into the 2020 Instrumental Music Program were sent home to those students who were accepted into the program. It is imperative that the forms attached to this offer are returned to the office by the due dates listed otherwise your child’s position in the program may be offered to a student who did not receive a place.

If you have any questions about anything to do with this recruitment process, please do not hesitate to contact me at leeas0@eqq.edu.au.

Yours in Music,
