All girls are to wear BLACK pants, their black music shirts AND their performance jackets. If you are new to an ensemble, please email Gladys on musicadmin@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au to secure your uniform.

Performance Uniforms

We are in the process of updating the current red music performance jacket. Please use this link to vote. The link will close on June 22, when the decision will be made. Basically, the jackets will be a choice of black with red piping OR red with black piping. The reason for the change is based around style and allowing the girls some choice in what they wear. There will also be black pants as part of the uniform, which all girls must wear. This will all be available from 2024.

International Competition

Joy Yin (Year 8) will be heading to Austria in the holidays to partake in a competition called “Grand Prize Virtuoso International Music Competition”. You can read more about this here, which is open to all nationalities, ages, instruments and chamber music. It is quite renowned and attracts applicants from 71 countries across all ages. A selected group of winners are invited to perform live in Europe and US important venues depending on which competition we sign up for. Joy is attending to broaden her horizons as a pianist as well as competing. We wish her well in her endeavour and look forward to hearing of her trip upon her return.
