Kaikorai Orchestra On Tour 2023

On Tuesday, 27/6/23, our orchestra went on tour to Balmacewen Intermediate. We walked down with our friends after packing the instruments into Sophie’s mum’s car and Alexis and Luci’s Grandma’s car.

Luci: After we played one song, we got to have two cookies and a cup of water. Then we played outside for 10 or 5 minutes then we played the rest of the songs. We played Water Moon, Cool Blues, Procession of the King and Thorrington Blues.

Genevieve: It was awesome. I got to go down with a buddy.

Mateo: It was a lot of fun. It was my first workshop. After we played Thorrington Blues, we played outside for 15 minutes. I was playing the violin.

Eric: It was great and was also very fun playing, I play first violin. I helped with the setup. We had to do way more than what we usually do (very fun.) Then we went to go and eat very good cookies. Then we had to play the hardest piece ever, and then the rest of the day went really well.
