The MusicCamp

In July, 86 keen musicians spent three days at the Phillip Island Adventure Resort for their annual music camp. This venue was carefully chosen, not only for its ample rehearsal space, but also for its suitability for energetic 8-17 year-old boys! The aim of the camp was to encourage students to establish a balance between their musical interests and non-musical pursuits and to involve the entire music department, staff and students, as a community. The standard of the students’ performance at the concert on August 14 was outstanding. The concert included the Concert Band, Jazz Band, String Ensembles, Guitar Ensemble, Vocal Ensemble, as well as solo performances by the VCE students and staff. It was decided that all proceeds from the evening would be donated to the Michael Hill Fund, for one of our Old Collegians who has been severely injured. The overall message from this wonderful camp was: as a musician you have a gift to share.
