Congratulations to…
Symphonic Winds and Orchestra students who performed repertoire to Years 3, 5 and 7 as part of their coursework. This wonderful learning experience enabled students to hear a variety of musical devices performed by different instruments in short excerpts. The differences between these two ensembles was explained and terms such as syncopation were demonstrated to the attentive audience. Thank you to Ms Wentzel, Ms Robertson, Dr Gilmour and Oldboy Mr Hayden O’Young for their organisation and compering of this event.
…William Chan, Ewan de Vries, Alexander Glasfurd, Justin Lee, Will Leslie, Samuel Lim, Euan Milne, Avery O’Neill, Alex Parker, Matthew Parsons and Asher Shepherd, who performed last Wednesday, 15 May, at the Year 9 Elective Music Soiree. Thank you to Ms Oxley, who accompanied these students, and to Mr Payne for his organisation of the event.
