As we reach halfway through Term 3 our music and performing arts departments have been busy with many events.
Our Music students have been making us proud this term with some exceptional performances at ‘Parade Presents’ and Harwyn’s Rocking the Nation battle of the band’s competition. ‘Parade Presents’ showcased a variety of musical items from large concert ensemble works to small and intimate woodwind groups. The entire evening proved to be very entertaining and the positive feedback has been appreciated. Many thanks to the full house who came to show their support.
Our student band, The Liffeys, performed at Alexander Theatre in the Grand Finale of Harwyn’s Rocking the Nation battle of the band’s competition. The band did exceptionally well and can be proud of their performance. Many thanks to all those students and staff who came to show their support.
Our annual Instrumental Music Soiree is approaching on Wednesday 10 September. The concert showcases solo music items from our instrumental music students. Across brass, woodwind, drums, voice, piano, guitar, bass guitar and more, our students have been working hard to present their solo, duo and trio items. Entry is free and the event takes place across our Rivergum and Performing Arts Centre from 7.00pm to 8.15pm.
The Big Band are set to perform at VSMF on Thursday 11 September at Hawthorn Arts Centre. The band have been working hard under the direction of bandleader, Mr Andrew Saragossi. The band have had a very successful year, and we wish them well for their performance.
ACCent on Music takes place on Monday 15 September. This combined performance of all ACC schools showcases 600 students performing together at Hamer Hall. Due to the magnitude of the event it only takes place every three years and we are proud to be involved once again. Ms Calia is bandleader of the Rock Band, and over 40 of our students are involved in over 10 different ensembles. We wish all our students well for the performance.
With Semester 2 well underway there are a variety of music events still to look forward to until the end of the year.
