The following two performances have been submitted for our school to be considered to play at the Festival of Instrumental Music at the Sydney Opera House in the last week in August. We wish our students the best of luck.
Item 1 - Young PS Band performing Aztalan by Michael Sweeney
Item 2 - Young PS band Performing Rolling in the Deep by Paul Epworth and Adele Arr. Mark Corkery.
Our school band had a fantastic day at Canberra on Tuesday 28th May. The band were fortunate enough to win GOLD in their section.
Congratulations to the Young Public School Band for their Gold Medal performance. The adjudicator of their section singled out the band for their excellent performance, stating that if he had closed his eyes he would have thought that the band was made up of much older students. The band was also praised for their excellent dynamics (being able to play loudly or softly as required). The adjudicator awarded the band 11 As and 2 Bs for their performance of 'Aztalan' and 'Rolling In The Deep'. A special thank you to our Band Coordinator, Mrs Coralie Long and our Conductor, Mr Mark Corkery. Mr Corkery also recieved special mention ffom the adjudicator for his arrangement of 'Rolling In The Deep'.
