Music Intensive Weekend – Well done and Thank you!

Congratulations to all the students who attended the Music Intensive Weekend. The weekend was a great success with the students working really hard on their music and making noticeable improvements. The concert sounded great!

Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help over the weekend. A huge thank you to Nicole Shinfield for all her time spent organising the event, and to Diane Sexton for her assistance.

Playathon practice period has started! (Training/Junior/Concert/Senior bands)

Please remind your child to log their instrument practice on the “Playathon” practice log. There are some great prizes! If your child did not pick up a form at the Music Intensive Weekend it has also been emailed to families; Mr Walmsley also has spare printed copies.

Sydney Eisteddfod is coming up soon

Junior/Concert/Senior/Jazz bands and Orchestra are all performing in Sydney Eisteddfod this month. The performances are all in school time. You will be emailed the link to the online permission form, please fill it in as soon as possible. We also need a few parents to help transport the large instruments, so if you are available to help please indicate this on the form. Don't forget that your child will need to wear band uniform for these performances.

Parent volunteers needed for Father's Day Concert

We are planning to hold a Father’s Day concert for all bands to perform on Thursday 29 August. It will be very similar to the Easter Band Breakfast and will be held before school in the school hall.

We are looking for volunteers both for an hour or two on the day, and to assist with the organisation beforehand. If you are available to volunteer (or would like to know more about what is involved), please email band@artarmonpandc.org.au with your name and a contact phone number.

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