Town Hall Schedule – Combined Choirs, SPO, Basie Jazz Band and Woodwind Ensemble

Thank you to students for your commitment to attending your ensemble’s rehearsals to prepare for Speech Night.

You would have received a schedule for this Thursday’s Town Hall rehearsal leading to the evening ceremony at 7.30pm. You can view this schedule here.

It will be a wonderful evening of music and a lovely way to end our school year!

Thank you also to parents/guardians for supporting our preparation. We look forward to sharing the music with you at Speech Night.

Bring Your Musical Instruments Home!

There is a collection of musical instruments that are in desperate need to be taken home over the Christmas holidays. If you have left your instrument in the DB studio storage, please make plans to bring your instrument home as there will be some renovation work done in the DB Centre over the Christmas period.
