Music Camp Wrap Up
We hope your child enjoyed music camp, they were probably a bit tired from all the excitement of the weekend. You'll hear the difference that extra practice has made when you hear them perform! Many thanks to all the parent volunteers who made the weekend possible. Special thanks to parent Joanne Wang for organising the camp.
Multicultural Fair this Sunday
All bands will be playing, come along to listen and join in the fun of the fair. Details for performers have been emailed to families.
End of Year Concert
Details for performers will be emailed to families soon, including ticket sales information. Please read carefully as there is a lot to take in.
Don't forget that all band members require band uniform for the concert, so now is the time to check it is all organised and still fits!
Enrolment for new band students for 2020 is now open
If your child would like to join band next year please read the band information pack available online at https://portal.msmusic.com.au/artarmonmusic. It gives details about the program including costs and time commitments, and has instructions about how to register for the band program. Please register your child by Friday 15th November, as we will hold instrument try-outs the following week to identify a suitable instrument for your child to learn.
Any child who will be in Years 3 to 6 in 2020 may join the band program, no prior musical experience is required. If your child is younger than this we look forward to welcoming them to band in Year 3!
