Secondary Ensemble Concert

Congratulations to all our musicians on a superb Ensemble Concert last night. It was wonderful to see the girls come together to produce some very fine music and perform like professionals. Special thanks to our music staff: Mrs Colbey, Mr Stafford, Mr Schweinberger, Mr Rossman, Ms Ashton, and Ms Zeltzer for rehearsing the girls all year, culminating in a showcase of talent. Thanks too to the staff who helped behind the scenes, keeping the girls together and supporting their musical endeavours.

Please note that rehearsals for String Orchestra, School Concert Band and Middle School Concert Band will have their final rehearsals next week – Week 8. These rehearsals will commence at 7.30am, not 6.50am.
