Parents/grandparents, family and friends had the privilege of watching 52 of our very talented musical students within the College perform on Thursday 7 June in our mid-year Music Concert.
The students were from the Instrumental Music program, LEAP Music program, Junior and Senior A Capella ensembles, College Choir, Jazz Band, LEAP Concert Band and the guitar and strings ensembles.
The Music Concert comprised seven soloists (drums, piano, voice, guitar, bass guitar and violin) and eight ensembles. They all blew the audience away with the outstanding variety of performances and enthusiasm.
Our Jazz Band, run by Tamara Rundle, opened the concert with three diverse pieces, while the LEAP Concert Band, run by Ms Innes, closed the concert with a piece called Latin Magic by John Higgens.
We are also very proud of the performances given by the Junior A Capella and Senior A Capella ensembles, Choir, advanced guitar ensemble and strings ensemble. It was obvious how much work our students and teachers had put into these ensemble rehearsals each week.
The Music Department would like to thank our Music teachers Mr Gus Garces, Mrs Tamara Rundle (Jazz Band and woodwind teacher) as well as the Instrumental Music tutors Ms Caroline Dickason (piano and voice), Mrs Tanya Bradley (violin), Ms Innes (brass and base guitar), Mr Dean Cooper (drums) and Mr Emilio Kormanic (guitar), for the dedication and time they put into our music students each week.
Last but not least, a very big thank you to our amazing technical crew — Chris Keuken, Ryan Abblitt and Travis Rowden — who made sure this night ran as smoothly as possible behind the scenes at all times. We would also like to congratulate our student Master of Ceremonies Aragorn Keuken and Brianna Moore.
