Music Department
As we commence Week 4, all music ensembles are now rehearsing diligently in preparation for their various performances and tours and it was great to have so many boys on stage to perform as members of the full Scotch College Concert Band as they joined together to perform at the first Senior Assembly of 2015 at the end of Week 1. The Studio Orchestra also performed well at the end of Week 2.
Supporting the musical activities is Friends of Scotch Music (FOSM) a group of parents who enthusiastically support the work of boys and staff in the Music Department. This group met on Monday of Week 2 and planned their support of the years events which begins with the upcoming Quiz Night for all Musicians in Years 8 - 12. More information about this event will be sent via email. FOSM meets once or twice each term with all meetings beginning at 7.00pm. Meetings go for approximately one hour and are held in the Senior School Music Room with everyone welcome. Please consider becoming involved in the FOSM Parent Support group is an excellent way to support your son and the Music Programme at Scotch College.
There is a range of exciting musical events organized for this term including the following dates:
