Music Awards 2022

Charlotte Ensor —

Celebrating the achievements and dedication of our multi-talented music students

On Tuesday, October 25th, the Aurora Centre was filled with music and applause to celebrate the accomplishments of our 2022 music students.

The night began with a performance by the Senior Contemporary Band. The ceremony then included performances from the multi-award-winning Jazz Combo: Chicks from Corea. The night also included inspirational addresses by our Principal, Mr Phil Holstein, and BHS Alumni (now world-renowned bassist), Hamish Smith, who recorded a heartfelt message from his home in New York.

Certificates were awarded for Service to Music (based on a minimum of two years continued involvement in an ensemble or a leadership role) and Achievement in Music (based on awards earned in competitions etc. throughout 2022). With the year finally including most of the contests and events that were planned, there was an impressive total of 232 students awarded on the night.

Congratulations to all staff and students of the music department on a successful 2022!
