Waikato Itinerant Music Festival

It has been all go in the Music Department. We attended the Waikato Itinerant Music Festival where our groups performed extremely well. Our symphonic band gained a Gold Award, our Jazz Band and Guitar Group gained Silver Awards, and our String Ensemble gained Bronze!
Three of our songwriters have also enjoyed success at a National Level in the Play it Strange Song Writing Competition. Lottie Mollison, Katrina Porter, and Tessa Olsson have won $800 worth of recording time at a recording studio of their choice. Their songs will be recorded and released later in the year!
