All our senior music ensembles recently performed at the annual Senior Ensembles Evening, and it was a fantastic night of entertainment. It was a fantastic night of high-calibre musical entertainment, with all students showcasing their ensembles to the highest standard.
Featuring students from Years 7 to 12, the evening highlighted the depth of talent from across the College. Audiences were treated to outstanding performances from the Senior Vocal Group, Sons of Tonality, Clarinet Choir, Senior Strings, Senior Concert Band, Senior Guitar Ensemble, Intermediate Stage Band, and the Senior Stage Band.
Throughout the night, we enjoyed some of the highlights from the recent Queensland Music and Dance Tour, including a montage of photos, and interviews from Lizzie S and Henry L. This gave our community a wonderful glimpse into the experiences shared on tour.
A special moment of the evening was the tribute to our graduating Year 12 musicians, who received their ‘Commitment to Ensembles’ award recognising their consistent effort and involvement in College music events since the Year 4 Band Program.
We also had the privilege of welcoming back some alumni, who joined both the Senior Concert Band and Senior Stage Band for the evening. In an interview, one former student encouraged our current musicians in lifelong pursuit of music a fitting message for such a celebratory night.
Thank you to all the students and ensemble directors who performed so well at this event, demonstrating strong commitment to their music journey and contributing to a great ensemble sound. Thank you to all the parents for supporting your child on their musical journey and providing them the opportunity to experience these valuable initiatives at the College.
We look forward to hearing more from these ensembles at the upcoming South West Festival and at further performances throughout the rest of the year.
