Recently, our string orchestra and beginners strings group performed at the local round on Fanfare with both groups awarded gold for their performances.
Fanfare is the biennial state-wide festival of bands and orchestras from Queensland state schools. It showcases the exciting music-making that occurs in school-based ensembles across the state. The emphasis for Fanfare is on improving the quality of ensembles, promoting the highest possible standard of performance, striving for excellence and encouraging participation.
In very exciting news, our string orchestra impressed the judges so much they were invited to the regional final in Caloundra. AT this event they were awarded the Regional primary best performance award. Congratulations to Mrs Haaksma and the orchestra.
