INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS

As we move into term 2, there are already some amazing things to celebrate in Instrumental Music and the Performing Arts.  

Assemblies  

We were very privileged to have a performance of the song ‘I Was Only 19’ at the Anzac day assembly, performed by the year 7 Choir students. It was very fitting for the message of the day and students saw a different side of the ANZAC message through the song. 

Instrumental Music 

Term 2 brings the biggest day of the instrumental calendar, the Winter Concert, which showcases the talent of the program to parents and friends of the program.  

This year we will be performing the concert live and on site for the first time since 2019, which is very exciting. There will be performances from all ensembles (percussion, guitar, keyboard, choir, woodwind and brass) as well as some solo performances from selected students.  

2022 College Production – We Will Rock You 

Production rehearsals have continued afterschool on Tuesday and Thursdays, with scenes and songs starting to take shape. Seeing junior students step up to lead roles is exciting and inspiring. 

Students are also looking forward to the inaugural production camp coming in July, where they will have the chance to workshop performance skills and build team relationship outside of school. 

Open Night 

Our performing arts students were happy to entertain the visitors on Open Night, with a selection of bands, vocalists and pianists volunteering their time to show the amazing work taking place at Mooroolbark College.  

Performing Arts Camp 

A reminder that all performing arts students are invited to the inaugural Performing Arts camp for 2022 – Wakakirri cast, We Will Rock You cast and all Instrumental students. The camp is based at YMCA in Mt Evelyn and will consist of team building and fun activities, as well as a dedicated, distraction free environment to rehearse, workshop skills and perform.
