SCS Rock Band Eisteddfod
Congratulations to our first Eastern Shire Precinct Year 11 Music class who competed in the Rock Band category in the SCS Eisteddfod which was hosted by Marist Catholic College Penshurst. Our senior students, who have only been performing together for 4 months, performed a heartwarming version of ‘Linger’ by The Cranberries and were awarded 2nd place.
Amadeus
On Monday 24 June, Year 7 and 8 Music students performed for parents, carers and staff in their Amadeus String and Woodwind and Brass Ensembles. The performances were exceptional and it was lovely to see our girls showcasing what they have been working on in their groups for the past 6 months.
On behalf of the CAPA staff, I would like to thank all of the students who worked consistently in rehearsing and performing in the SCS Eisteddfod where they represented the College.
We are very proud of your efforts and achievements.
Have a restful break and we look forward to starting new pieces next term.
Year 11 Music Recital
On Tuesday 2 July, the Eastern Shire Precinct Year 11 Music class performed repertoire from the topics studied Methods of Notating Music and Rock Music. Pieces included solo and ensemble arrangements from ‘Linger‘ by The Cranberries, ‘Valerie’ by Amy Winehouse, ‘Slipping Through My Fingers’ by ABBA, ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love‘ by Elvis and more recent rock pieces by Hozier.
Family, friends and staff of the Year 11 students came to support the performances and the students definitely delivered!.Looking forward to seeing the students progress when they commence Year 12 coursework in Term 4.
