Summer Twilight Concert Series / Year 11 Assessment Week
Summer Twilight Concert Series will be held from 20 November – 24 November. There will be live performances at lunchtimes and on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm and Thursday evening from 6.00pm showcasing our co-curricular ensembles in the Quad Lawn. Bring your blankets and a picnic and enjoy the live music. There will also be sausages and drinks on sale. Please see the poster attached for further details. Summer Twilight Concert Series occurs during Year 11 Assessment Week and Year 10 Wellbeing Week. It is an expectation that all students will attend the lunchtime and evening concerts and perform with their peers.
Year 7 and Year 8 Concert Attendance
A reminder that all Year 7 and Year 8 Music students are to attend two live Music concerts as part of their coursework. There are several upcoming events: Summer Twilight Evening Concerts on Monday 20 November 6.30pm, Wednesday 22 November 6.30pm and Thursday 23 November 6pm in the Quad Lawn and the Festival of Lessons and Carols at 7.00 pm in the Chapel on Monday 27 November. These are free events, and all are welcome to attend. Students are to wear full school uniform (no coats or boaters). The Music syllabus requires students to experience a range of musical performances with a broad variety of repertoire. These concerts are wonderful opportunities for your sons to experience a live performance by Shore students who are collaborating and sharing their vast array of skills.
