Music

2006 has been a very productive and enjoyable year in the Music Department. The highlight was undoubtebly our tour to Horsham. This involved members of the Stage and Concert Bands, as well as the Vocal and Saxophone Ensembles. Students from Saint Brigid’s College welcomed De La Salle boys into their homes for four days, where they got the chance to experience life as a Horsham local! When not enjoying life on the farm, D.L.S took their talents to the community, performing to a number of Primary, Secondary and Special Needs schools. The performance venues ranged from the humble school portable to the Wesley Performing Arts Centre. The standard of our boys behaviour and performance was consistently high and we were proud as a staff to be a part of the wonderful ambassador roles they played. Thanks to the efforts of Sandy Glazebrook, Cindy Frost, Simon Chiodo, Kelly Williams and Jason Kenner this first time tour was a complete success. We look forward to expanding the entourage next time around. On a personal note, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students who have come through the Music Department over the past six years. My time as Director of Music has been a most fulfilling experience, witnessing long term friendships develop across the board amongst students and staff. I also want to express a sincere appreciation to all the Instrumental Staff who have created such a solid basis for us to build upon in Ensembles. I wish Cindy Frost all the best as she takes over this leadership role and trust great things will follow. As Primary Coordinator next year, I will continue to encourage a love of all things artistic amongst the boys.
