Australian Band and Orchestra Festival Success

Congratulations to the Concert Band, Training Band, and Big Band, and their conductors Matt Manchester, Brad Lucas and Ray Cassar. All three bands performed at the Australian Band and Orchestra Festival on Sunday, and all three received a gold award. An outstanding result!

Audition Results

In the past few weeks the IMP conductors have heard auditions from over 140 musicians, for the places vacated by our departing year 12 cohort. The competition was fierce, and we were very impressed by students’ preparation, musical maturity, and courage in auditioning. Congratulations to those who were successful, and we look forward to seeing the rest of you again next year. New ensembles begin rehearsals next week.

IMP Farewell to Year 12s

The mid-year concert at the end of last term farewelled our largest ever cohort of year 12s, who retire from the IMP to focus on their HSC exams. Congratulations on five and a half years of brilliant music-making. We will miss you all! Best of luck with the upcoming HSC, and wherever life takes you in the future, make sure music is a part of that.
