This week at the High Achievers assembly, the Senior Concert Band performed the National Anthem, along with a special debut performance of an original composition by Year 11 student Caleb Cruz. Caleb composed this work at the end of 2017, through his own initiative, not for the purpose of an assessment. This shows great dedication and commitment to his study and journey of music, and this high achievement is a credit to Caleb and his devotion to learning. The Senior Concert Band began to workshop this piece at the end of Term 4 last year, and Caleb would then go home and make edits on the composition based on feedback from Mr Mark and his fellow band members.
The performance went very well, and Caleb is to be commended on his efforts and great musical composition – well done Caleb!
