150. Past. Present. Parade.

Despite the setback in recent weeks with the latest COVID-19 outbreak, we are proceeding with cautious optimism that our 150th Anniversary Celebration Concert will proceed as planned on August 30th at Hamer Hall.

Rehearsals have continued via MS Teams over the past fortnight and we are looking forward to resuming in person rehearsals shortly in the lead up to the big night which is now less than five short weeks away. As they say, the show must go on!
Ticketing information has been sent to families of the cast and will be released to the wider College community in the coming days - so please keep your eyes peeled. As always, any questions or concerns regarding the concert can be directed to 150concert@parade.vic.edu.au.

Remote Instrumental Lessons

Thank you to all our dedicated instrumental staff and students who have adapted so well to this latest period of remote learning. Both instrumental music lessons and ensembles are continuing remotely and students should be continuing to check in with their instrumental music teacher via MS Teams at their scheduled lesson time each week. Ensemble rehearsals will also be running at their regular rehearsal time either at lunch or after school via their dedicated MS Team and students should be attending all remote rehearsals as required.

Any music issues can always be communicated to music@parade.vic.edu.au at any time.

Congratulations - AMEB Exam Results

The Music Department extends its congratulations to Luca Falvo (Year 10/H03) and Andrew Katsaros (Year 9/T15) who have both been awarded passes with credit for their Grade Four piano exams - Luca for Piano Repertoire and Andrew for Piano Comprehensive.

The Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) provides a complete and internationally recognised assessment in music and we congratulate the fantastic efforts of both Luca and Andrew and extend our thanks to Ms Poon for her assistance in preparing these students for their examination.
