Stars of the future, Manly Jazz Festival performance.

During the recent holidays, our Senior Stage Band performed at the inaugural ‘International Manly Jazz Festival’. This was the third year in a row that our Stage Band performed on the Stars of the Future stage, and this is an honourable achievement for our students and the College.

They performed very well and represented the College to a high standard, along with receiving positive praise from various members of the public. Further, two of our Year 12 student musicians, Jeremiah Sampson (piano) and Ali Dursun (bass) were selected to be part of the student All Star Big Band.

This band comprised students from schools all around Sydney, and was an ensemble of very high calibre. Ali and Jeremiah thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity and experience to perform with some amazing musicians, and they have also made some new friends and began networking as they continue to pursue their musical paths.
