Music Camp

Last Friday, 60 students, accompanied by Mrs Helen Williams, Mr David Simpfendorfer and Mrs Aleisha Tuaine, departed for the annual Music Camp at Watson Park Convention Centre. Together, these students formed our Senior Strings, Senior Choir, Senior Concert Band, Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble. Amongst the many hours of rehearsals, the weekend was also a fantastic time of building and strengthening friendships. At the request of the Caloundra RSL, this year our Concert Band has formed Pacific’s first ever marching band.

The camp concluded with students performing a short concert on Sunday afternoon to the delight of their parents. The buzz and energy amongst students were evident, and promises another great year of music making! The camp could not have run without the support of several of our wonderful Music Tutors, Mr Salmon, Ms Martinez and Mrs Fowler. We thank them and our wonderful students for such a fantastic weekend.

General Update

In the coming week, further information and a payment schedule for the 2022 New Zealand Music Tour will be released. Please keep an eye out for this information as the first deposit is due in early March.

Students are reminded that if they will be away for an instrumental lesson or ensemble rehearsal, to let their teacher know as soon as possible. Unplanned absences, such as illness, also need to be communicated as early as possible. Thank you for your support!
