On the last Monday in Term 2 the Junior Concert Band, Intermediate Concert Band and Intermediate Stage Band participated in the Engadine Band Festival.

BandFest is an annual event held in the last 2 weeks of Term 2 for school ensembles. The festival aims to give students participating in varying type of ensembles an opportunity to perform in a public, friendly, non-competitive environment where they are adjudicated and awarded a gold, silver or bronze. Schools from all over NSW participate involving over 4000 musicians. Each band is recorded and adjudicated by a professional who provides them with expert advice and encouragement.

The Junior Concert Band received a Silver award, Intermediate Stage Band a Silver award and the Intermediate Concert Band a Gold award.

Well done to all the students who performed at this event to a very high calibre.
