MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSIC TOUR – ‘RIVER STORY’
Sincere congratulations to the wonderful 61 Middle School students who were involved in the 2008 Middle School Music Tour. In four days they presented their 75 minute show ‘River Story’ 14 times in Bendigo, Castlemaine, Kyabram, Kerang, Deniliquin, Barham and Echuca. The tour program is a very demanding one with very little ‘down’ time. The rigors of unloading the buses, setting up instruments, equipment and props, tuning up, getting into costume, performing, packing everything up, travelling and doing it all again .. and again.. demands energy, focus, commitment and teamwork. It is no holiday! The reward is a fantastic growth in performance skills and many new friendships, as well as knowing that you bring a lot of pleasure to our country communities.

Many thanks to Jason Digby, Kerry Ang, Laura Haywood, Claire Murray, Graeme Lowe (Panorama) and Jane Penhallurick (drama rehearsals).

Martin Arnold, Head of Middle School Music

Jazz Groups 2009

Camp Hotline

We usually run two jazz groups in Middle School. The Ellington band is for experienced jazz players, and the Goodman ensemble is for less experienced players. Both groups rehearse one lunchtime each week, and perform several times a year. The usual line up is alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, trumpet, trombone and a rhythm section consisting of piano, bass drums and guitar. However we do often have other instruments such as flute, clarinet, tuba, and a vocalist.
Over the next 2 weeks we will be forming the jazz ensembles for 2009. There will be a couple of lunchtime tryout sessions. Any student interested in playing in one of these groups is welcome to register their interest with me, either by the sheet outside M21 or by email.

Martin Arnold, Head of Middle School Music
