Musicland has been busy this term with many performances and other events. The Senior Jazz Band, under the direction of Adrian Jackson, performed at our annual Chaplaincy dinner playing many favourite jazz standards including You Know I’m No Good and My Girl (featuring the Music Captains as guest vocalists). A capacity audience watched Kew’s Got Talent in the library. A variety of performers, from a variety of year levels, put together acts that were very entertaining and well rehearsed.. Our Music Camp in May was very productive as students and their teachers immersed themselves in all day workshops and performance preparation. It was a most enjoyable and productive week.
The Mid Year Winter concert in the theatre featured our ensembles. It was a very impressive showcase of students’ talents and the work that they have done for the semester in their music lessons and group rehearsals.
Next term The Senior Stage Band and The Intermediate Concert Band will be participating in the Victorian Schools Music Festival. We will be presenting our Jazz and Swing Night and playing for the school production of Urine Town among other performances. Check the Newsfeed for details.
