Steelpan Rehearsals Resumes from TODAY

Students and parents are reminded that our well established steelpan orchestra will resume the regular rehearsals from today, 25th September 2014. Consent forms were sent to students. Please note that students will be part of the orchestra only when the permission is granted from the parent / guardian. Practice day and time remains the same, Mondays and Wednesdays 3:30 to 5:00. 

Students need to be present at all rehearsals, as students who miss rehearsal will not be allowed to perform with the group and could result in being terminated from the orchestra.

Practice Update

Due to scheduling issues, from this term, all musical groups' rehearsal will be scheduled for after school. Students are asked to register this week for Mr Jeon to start scheduling rehearsals. The band rehearsal started from Monday 1st September.

National Competitions Cancelled…

Today I bring you a sad disappointing news. There is a possibility that our National Choir Competition and National Solo Singing Competition could be cancelled due to lack of financial support. However, there will be a music festival which school can choose to send a choir / instrumental / solo singer / combination of these groups to represent the school. Schools are told to do 1 piece. Festival will be held at district level first and the top performances will be selected for a grand festival as part of Nobel Laureate Activity.

We will be represented by combined group which comprises members from choir, live band, orchestra, solo singers and hopefully steel pan. Emails have been sent to students who will be performing. If you are seeing this message please check your email and learn your parts as we will be resuming intensive practice from 1st of September, 2014.

Term 3 2014

We had another successful term.

For 2nd time in a row, our music department did fantastic job at the graduation ceremony. We showcased live band, orchestra, choir and solo singers during the graduation.

We also took part in National Calypso Competition. We were supposed to take part in Soca competition which didn’t take place.

We were also faced with many challenges with scheduling, financial support, instruments and equipment maintenance. Due to these challenges and other reasons, we were forced to cut on our steelpan rehearsals and our well received and highly anticipated parents evening. As it stands now, all our programs should be back to normal from 1st September 2014.

We are back

I want to apologize to our dedicated followers for our delay in our update. Thank you for your continuous support and we are now back will be able to keep you updated from now.
