MUSIC FESTIVAL DEBRIEF

As we pack up the stage for another year, we look back on the past couple weeks of music.  We are all proud of the success of all of the Musicians in our community.  From the Year 5 student playing in front of an audience for the first time, to the Year 12 boys playing in front of their peers for the last time, to the staff band, excited to finally be part of the action, it really has been a Music Festival to remember.  We thank the students for having the courage and passion to help them perform.  We thank the tutors, teachers and conductors for facilitating their best possible performance.  And we thank all the parents out there for their ongoing support of the Music at St Augustine’s College.
