MUSIC COLOURS
FULL and HALF colours are available only to students who
are members of the following SENIOR music activities. Only students in
years 10, 11 & 12 can be awarded FULL colours.
CHAPEL CHOIR - SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - SYMPHONIC WIND BAND - CADET MARCHING
BAND
The above groups are the major performing groups of the School, students
in more than one of these groups will be able to be awarded colours for
each group should they meet the required standard. On your Blazer you
will have written for example:
Music – Choir 2004 Music - Band
2004 Music - Orchestra 2004
Membership of other smaller, elite Senior Ensembles eg Chamber Choir,
Senior Strings and Big Band is by invitation only and generally you must
first be a member of the related Major Senior Activity to join these Ensembles.
Lines are available to members of all Intermediate and Senior performing
groups within the School.
A boy has the opportunity to be in both the Symphonic Wind Band and/or
the Marching Band. Band Colours may be awarded for their contribution
to one or the other, generally not both bands. In extreme cases a recommendation,
through the Director of Music, may be made to the Head Master to consider
colours for a student's outstanding contribution above and beyond normal
expectations to both bands, in such cases they will have the wording,
"Band 2004" as well as "Marching Band 2004”.
The senior band programme will therefore run on a seasonal basis. The
Symphonic Wind Band will have priority during the year leading up to the
Gala Concert. The Marching Band will assume priority after the Festival
of Arts and focus from that point in term 2 through to the conclusion
of term 4. It is anticipated that the Marching Band will be required to
perform during the winter season at the Home Games, Cadets Ceremonial
Parade and the Fete. In addition to this some additional preparation time
for the Anzac Day Parade will be provided. Rehearsals for both the Symphonic
Wind Band and the Marching Band will generally be held on Wednesday afternoons
throughout the year".
