Band News

Last Wednesday a small group of Senior Band members was chosen to represent the school and take part in a band workshop day hosted by Ryde East Public School. The Ryde City Concert Band ran workshops and tu-tor groups to teach students from 5 local schools to play as one big band that afternoon. The result was amazing! After only a few hours together, the children performed Sesame Street and Star Wars at a small concert. They sounded great and it was good to see so many kids playing music together. We look forward to being involved in this great activity next year. On the 23rd of August, while everyone was dressed for the book parade, 9 band students, Saffiya, Shiming, Ben, Aden, Jonathan, Marnie, Dulandie, Loki & Rosie got the opportunity to go to Ryde East Public School. We worked with a conductor, Mr White, the relieving principal, to produce two awesome songs, Sesame Street and Star Wars. At the end the huge band of 5 mixed schools of about 100 students performed the two songs we learnt to the audience Ryde East K-2s. We discovered new melodies, made new friends and had a blast. Dulandie D It was great fun to go to another school for a day. I didn't know what to expect, but playing music as part of a big band was really good. We sounded good by the end. I'd recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to go. Loki D
