Sweet Sweet Music

The string ensembles continue to grow and this has been rewarded with great results.  On Monday the Junior Strings played beautifully to come away with the top prize to win the Junior Large Ensemble and the Senior Strings came away with third place on Sunday in the Large Ensemble section. Congratulations to all competitors and I look forward to sharing more results as they come in.

Whilst the Sunshine Coast Junior Eisteddfod is still in full swing for another couple of weeks, we have had some success already! There have been several students present solos and duets and have represented PLC impeccably.  Shauntel Pollocks gained third place in the 13yrs and under Woodwind category, playing a flute solo with a broken arm! Jessica C also achieved a highly commended in the same category! Hayley K (Year 11) should be congratulated for achieving third place in the highly competitive 16- 18yrs Woodwind championship section.

This Thursday the New Zealand Band will perform their final concert to their parents as they enjoy an evening of music and reminiscing over a slide show of the tour. Looking forward to seeing everyone back together.

Friday morning will see lots of our ensembles perform in the Pacific Gym for the annual Grandparents Day concert – good luck to all!
