Kickstart Music Camp 3 and 4 March
To kickstart our music ensemble program for 2023, we will launch our inaugural Kickstart Music Camp next week. We will be holding rehearsals and workshops over the afternoon of Friday 3 March and all day on Saturday 4 March at Tintern Grammar (i.e. it is an onsite ‘camp’, not a sleepover). All students must attend their relevant ensemble rehearsals, as this is vital extended rehearsal time to get our ensembles up and running with some solid rehearsal time early in the year. Much learning of new repertoire will be taking place in readiness for our Semester 1 performances.
Students will be in uniform on the Friday but may wear casual clothes on the Saturday. Students must wear a black shirt on Saturday for the famous Camp Photo!
