Kindred Rocks Again
The October edition of the Kindred Studios Bands Night is always emotionally charged as bands that have been regulars on the program for some years are farewelled. Monday October 12 this year was no exception as four bands made up of predominantly year 12 students presented for the last time. This was the last public performance for three bands from the year 12 music class who had their performance exams a few days later.
Also on stage were bands from years 10 and 11 along with a few student initiated groups, including a very keen group of year 8s who have been rehearsing regularly at lunchtimes to prepare for their debut.
Ensembles Spectacular
Another regular event on the music performance calendar is the Ensembles Spectacular concerts which occur in the Kinnear Theatre in winter and Spring.
Wednesday November 28 was the date for the Spring Spectacular and featured all of our major ensembles from the Instrumental Music Program. The new FHS Music Tshirts were seen for the first time on all performers. The program featured the Baroque Orchestra, The Kaleidoscopic Contemporary Orchestra, The Combined Junior Rookie Bands, Junior and Senior and Whole School Choirs, Percussion Ensemble and the Barkly Community Band.
A wonderful team effort from our dedicated Instrumental Music Staff makes these events possible, and performances are the goal of our hard working students who practice regularly at home and attend weekly rehearsals.
