Music Camp

Nanako Sakto —

The music department recently held a three-day camp at Hanmer Springs Forestry Camp.

Members of the Hagley Big Band, Choir, and Cabaret attended. The groups enjoyed intensive musical practices, workshops and bonding sessions. The team building during this camp was immense and all the students learnt valuable lessons as performers and being nice human beings by caring others.

The team of music staff members: Nanako Sato, Kevin Roberts, Margot Button, Paul Dearsley, and Ian Thorpe, enjoyed working with those delightful music students and learnt a lot about this group of students.

Mid-Winter Soirée

Two days after the music camp, the school Choir, Cabaret, Hagley Big Band, a couple of rock bands and selected soloists performers performed at an inaugural Mid-Winter Soirèe on Tuesday 1st June at Ara. The venue was packed and we were grateful for having such an appreciative audience.

The show was also live-streamed and if you would like to watch it, please follow the link below. (please skip to 7.23).
