Friends of Music Jazz Night
Tintern’s Jazz Night always is a much-anticipated event on the Tintern musical and social calendar. Our Friends of Music Committee are a hard-working team of parents who raise funds to put towards our students’ musical endeavours and support many of our concerts and camps throughout the year. On Jazz Night, the committee decorate the CM Wood Centre and the students certainly dig out their finery for a great night of music-making and dancing! We are welcoming Ross Irwin’s Dance Band, ‘Creole Cookout’, who promise to have us up on the dance floor dancing the night away. Our Jazz Bands and choirs also have enjoyed preparing their musical offerings for this fun night. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun (if we’re allowed to have communal fun by that stage – fingers are crossed!)
For further details or to book click here. Please contact the Music Office or Community Relations if you are able to make a donation towards the fundraising raffle on the night. Hamper items welcome. Donations can be dropped off at the Music Office over the coming weeks.
Music Camp was a blast last weekend!
Our scheduled Music Camp did not take place on 23-25 July, so we were thrilled that we were able to reinstate it for this past weekend. Whilst it was not the huge social event that we have held in the past, the Music staff and students certainly enjoyed coming together for extended rehearsals and really getting their teeth into some great repertoire. These works are being prepared for our Annual Concert this Friday 6 August. We are unable to perform to a live audience at school, so each rehearsal scheduled for each choir and ensemble will culminate in a recorded performance this Friday. We will edit these into a full concert video and send a link to all families to sit back and enjoy in the comfort of their own home with a few weeks.
