As Term 3 draws to a close we reflect on the many music events that have taken place over this term. Well done to all our students who have performed at the various music events over the past few weeks.

Parade Presents and Harwyn Rocking the Nation

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 feedback we have received has been overwhelming. 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.

Instrumental Music Soirée

Our annual Instrumental Music Soiree took place on Wednesday 10 September and showcased a fantastic array of music items from across our department. From brass, woodwind, drums, voice, piano, guitar, bass guitar and more, our students presented their solo, duo, and trio items. Many thanks to all friends and family who came to show their support.

Big Band Performance at VSMF

Congratulation to our Big Band who performed at the Victorian School’s Music Festival at the Hawthorn Arts Centre and received some glowing feedback from the adjudicators. Well done to our bandleader, Mr Andrew Saragossi, and the rest of the students on a fantastic performance.

ACCent on Music

Well done to all those students who performed in ACCent on Music in Hamer Hall. This combined performance of all ACC schools showcased over 600 students performing collaboratively across over 10 ensembles. Our students did us proud both in their performance and in their level behaviour. Well done to Ms Calia who led the Rock Band on their fantastic performance.
