Band News

Welcome to Spring: Where the weather becomes unpredictable at best.

We are lucky enough to have the comfort of an amazing music room. It protects our music students from most of the elements (all except the element of surprise because … well…)

The exception is for some special outdoor events still vulnerable to rain, especially for our fellow String and Guitar students. For those events, Mrs Green and Mr Walmsley will make a decision and advise through the SkoolBag app. We will also send an email out ASAP.

Remember: Rehearsals are always on UNLESS you receive an email otherwise (or read it here)

Interested in Joining the Band Program?

Our AWESOME band program welcomes new students who will be in years 3, 4, 5, or 6 in 2019. No prior music experience is required. Application details are coming soon so watch this space. Please note: We are only able to accept applications for students in Year 3 or older in 2019. If your child is younger than this, we look forward to meeting them when they are in Year 3.

Volunteers Make The Band – We Need You!

Our Band Program cannot function without you! We rely on parent volunteers to fill to support with administration and committee functions. In particular, we are looking for a Tutor Coordinator. The Tutor Coordinator is required to prepare the tutorial timetable, distribute end of semester reports, and liaise with the school and teachers. If you are interested or can help in any committee roles, please contact Catharine Miller at band@artarmonpandc.org.au to find out more.

Dates to Remember – Our Next Big Event

Please keep these dates available and let us know ASAP if your student is unable to attend. Each student is a valued and important member of the band, with all performances designed and depending on 100% attendance.

  • Northern Youth Symphonic Wind (10th Anniversary Concert – Abbotsleigh School, Wahroonga) – Sunday 18 November, approx 4pm (Senior Band only)
  • Carols Night – Friday 7 December (all bands to perform)
