Music Matters

ANZAC Day School Service

Congratulations to members of Holst Wind Band who performed in whole school services commemorating this year’s ANZAC Day. This is very different to last year where students were invited to play the “Last Post” and “Reveille” at the end of their driveways due to COVID restrictions. Well done to Charlotte FitzSimons (Year 11) who performed “The Last Post” and “Reveille” in this year’s assembly. Special thank you to Mr Peter Jewitt (Ensembles Co-ordinator) who helped to prepare and conduct the students’ performance in this moving ceremony.

Musicale 2 – Wednesday 28 April 5pm The Great Hall

We are pleased to be presenting our second ensemble performance on Wednesday 28 April at 5pm. The following ensembles will be performing in the Musicale 2 Concert:

String Power
Training Band
Stringalong
Edwardes Percussion
Brass Ensemble
Contemporary Vocal Ensemble
Bugles
Amati Strings
Holst
Choir
Madrigal
Primary Cello Ensemble

Performers will need to arrive at the Diana Bowman site promptly at 4:30pm to warm up in readiness for the performance.

While restrictions have relaxed somewhat, we are unable to open the performance to the parent audience due to the person per square meter rule for school events. Online access to the concert is available through a Vimeo link. Please access this link to view the concert on the evening or after.

A reminder for families of Primary school students who will require Afterschool Care to make their bookings. Students who are performing will be collected by members of the Music staff from ASC around 4:15pm.
