This initiative sets out to bring music students together from several Anglican schools to share and learn music with each other. The event featured guest conductor Eric Dunan from the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music, who brings a great energy and enthusiasm with his musical approach.
This year we had a record breaking 200 plus students in the impressive combined Concert Band, from seven different Anglican Schools; Broughton Anglican, Wollondilly Anglican, Claremont College, Rouse Hill Anglican, Macarthur Anglican, Shellharbour Anglican and both Thomas Hassall Intermediate and Senior Concert Bands.
Students participated in two extended band workshops with Eric, where they worked on sight-reading a variety of repertoire, and some improvisation. The event concluded with a short concert to our Years 4, 5 and 6 students, where the audience were thoroughly entertained with the energy and great sound of the large Concert Band.
Congratulations to all of our band students for representing our College to a high level throughout the day. We are all looking forward to the next one!
