Multicultural Fair

What a great day and how lovely to hear the bands. How lucky was the weather! Many thanks to Jackie Sternfeld (a Band Mum as well as the P&C Social events organiser extraordinaire!) for organising the whole event and to all the parent volunteers. Special thanks to the teachers who also volunteered, you are amazing.

End of Year Concert

Details for performers have be emailed to families, buy your tickets as soon as possible to guarantee your seat. Please read the information carefully as there is a lot to take in.

If there is any band member who is unable to attend who has not yet advised Mr Walmsley or your band coordinator please do so immediately. Every student on every instrument is a valued player and the bands are at their best when everyone attends.

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. Remember BLACK SHOES AND SOCKS!!!

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!
