Years 9 & 10 Music Soiree  

Years 9 & 10 Elective Music classes will be presenting their first Soiree for the year, next Tuesday 23 October at 7.00pm in the Lecceto Auditorium.  

The students have been diligent in preparing for this event which will form a significant part of their HSC assessment. They would greatly appreciate your attendance. Our Soirees provide a valuable opportunity to gain performance experience and to measure student development in this area. So come along and support our musicians and enjoy an evening of wonderful music. Each student’s chosen piece is representative of the topics covered in class this semester.

MUSIC REHEARSAL EXPECTATIONS

We just wanted to clarify our expectations on rehearsals:

• The time listed on the rehearsal schedule is the start time (bands take at least five minutes to set up before rehearsal to put out chairs, stands, music, and to get their instruments out).  Please arrive at least five minutes before the published start time (listed below for your convenience).
• Rehearsals run every day unless communicated otherwise.  This includes first days of term, college event days (carnivals, liturgies, special breakfasts).   If your son has the Wednesday morning mass, he should attend rehearsal until 8am.
• If for any reason, your son is unable to attend, a courtesy email to the conductor or Joseph Montz is appreciated. 

BAND INTEGRATION DAY

The students of Concert Band 2 will be part of this year’s Band Integration Day.  In this event, we invite all of the future St Augustine’s students to the College to enjoy a day of Music and mingling.  The day will follow the approximate timings listed below.  Students have been approved leave from their formation leaders from class that day and are expected to be with the band.

NIGHT OF VOICE

On October 30, we’re holding a concert dedicated to all of our talented singers.  The concert will be held in the Auditorium from 7PM.  All of our in-house vocal students are already involved, however, if your son would like to be part of this celebration of voice, please ask him to contact Joseph Montz in person or via Direqt Message.  

PERFORMING ARTS LUNCHTIME PRESENTATIONS

If your son has contributed to performing arts (Music and Drama) co-curricular this year, he will be required to attend the presentations on November 6.  They will be held during periods 3 and 4 and will conclude with a free communal lunch for all of the students.  Drama students will have their presentations in the Drama Studios and Music will have theirs in the Auditorium.
