Battle of the Bands
On Saturday 13 September, two of our Rock Bands performed at the Battle of the Bands held at the Barker College Spring Fair. The Thursdays and KAIC were two of 35 bands who performed, singing songs by Evanescence. This was their first performance, and once the nerves settled, they proved themselves to be worthy of “rock chick” status. I was immensely proud of the way they performed and watching them have fun brought joy to my heart. Thank you to Ms Aquaro and Ms Zeltzer for preparing the girls so ably.
Northern Sydney Symphonic Wind Ensemble
On Sunday 14 September the Junior Jazz Band performed at The Concourse in Chatswood as part of their Spring Fair. Mrs Goodman and 19 students demonstrated great resilience as their music was swept up by the wind and they also faced the sun without having any sunglasses on. Well done, girls!
