Dear Parents/Carer,

The Music Committees are working with the school executives on finalising the dates for this term music program. However, we are already looking very busy at the first half of the term with upcoming Training Band recording and Senior Band performances.

Please keep checking newsflash for information on Year 2 Band try out and audition which will be happening in the second half of the term.

Parent Volunteers Needed!!

As you may know, ALL of the administration of the Music Program is completed entirely by parent volunteers.  Currently we have one opening of new parent volunteer to fill empty roles. Volunteering to help out with band is a great way to connect with the school community, gain a better understanding of the music & band program and most importantly your child will be thrilled that you are involved with something they are involved in.

If you are able to assist or have any further questions on any of the roles, please email band.artarmonpandc@gmail.com or apsbandinstruments@gmail.com
