Playathon practice period starts 3 Jun (Training/Junior/Concert/Senior bands)

In the next few days all students will be given a “Playathon” practice log. This is a fun incentive to encourage students to practice their instruments - with prizes! - and is great preparation for the upcoming performances at Sydney Eisteddfod. In addition it is a fundraiser for the band program: a bit like the "Walkathon", students are asked to collect sponsorship for their instrumental practice time over a 2 week period. Funds raised are used to buy instruments, music and equipment for the band program. This year we are planning to buy acoustic shields which protect the hearing of musicians who sit in front of very loud instruments, plus a percussion cabinet.

Got a question?

If it is about your hired instrument or instrumental tutorial please contact your tutor firstly, then our instrument coordinator or tutor coordinator if required.

For anything else please contact your band coordinator.
