Firstly well done to the performance groups who played for visiting year 6 students on Wed and Thursday. Visiting students got to hear our orchestra, Irish band, brass group and jazz band. They found out about the other groups and music possibilities as well as being introduced to some new instruments.
The Jazz Bands also played as the 560 or so people arrived for the big Community Consultation Meeting on Wed night regarding the future of the school.
Meanwhile the choir has started learning it's lovely pieces to perform at the Christmas concert with CSO on Dec 15. Choir members should check details on the choir page of the wiki.
Tomorrow our Marimba group will play at the CHCH Marimba festival to be held at the St Andrew's College Gymnasium, Papanui Rd. They will perform at the 3pm performance. Look out for their hot pink marimba Tshirts :)
On Tuesday the Orchestra and Choir will perform one piece at the conclusion of the visit from Hekia Parata. This will take place between 3.30pm and 4.30pm. Parents/caregivers/supporters are encouraged to attend this consultation meeting to be held in the hall.
Tuesday also will see our jazz combo play for the ASB scholarship awards ceremony during the day.
Wednesday is a recording day for the school CD.
On Thursday the Press will come and video the jazz band at rehearsal as part of snapshots of schools affected by the government proposals.
Meanwhile itinerant students are getting ready for the upcoming itinerant nights. Check out http://chisnallwoodmusic.wikispaces.com/itinerant+night. to see which night you are on if you are learning an instrument or voice or hiphop at school. These nights are always enjoyable and a fabulous opportunity for students to play and for families to meet the itinerant teachers.
