Performance

Last Thursday the Cliff Goodchild Concert Band under the direction of Mr Dan Williams performed for Years 7 & 8 students from St Clare’s.  The various instruments were introduced to the students as a means of inspiring the girls to take up an instrument and hopefully join a Music Ensemble.

Mr Williams and the band gave an entertaining and professional performance and they were joined by two ex-students, Jamie McCarthy and Lucas Polivis, who are both studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Year 7 Band Day

A number of Year 7 students attended a Band Day last Sunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm.  Chris Balkizas, Dan Williams, Susannah Pinter and Cameron Reid gave of their time to prepare the students to be a member of the College Ensemble.  Activities included ‘getting to know you’ games, instrumental sectionals, a BBQ lunch and final group performance.  A good time was had by all!
