Take note: NPS Proms and an invite to our upcoming festive performance

On Thursday November 13th, all NPS students had the opportunity to attend “NPSProms”. This is an event designed to introduce students to the instruments in the band and listen to many of the fantastic pieces the Concert Band have learned during the year. Several members of the Concert Band performed short solos to demonstrate what their instrument sounds like and several non-band students even had the opportunity to conduct the band! Concert Band members even had the choice to dress in a nice outfit, reflective of the casual AND fancy feel at a traditional Proms.

The Concert Band performed all of our favourites from this year, including classics like “Crocodile Rock”, “the Avengers” and “Jurassic Park”. As Proms is a great time for audience participation, the Concert Band also played two pieces picked just for Proms. NPS did a fabulous job with calling out the Heeler family’s names in “Bluey” and clapping along to Proms classic, the “Radetzky March”.

The next performance from both the Training Band and the Concert Band will be on Tuesday December 3rd at our yearly holiday music event, newly titled “Tinsel and Tunes”. The whole school community is welcome – we’d love to see you in the grass quad for a great kick off to the festive season.
