SENIOR CONCERT BAND TOUR
Last week, the Senior Concert Band went on Tour to Phillip Island for 5 days. Thirty-two students participated in this tour along with Mrs Stabryla, Mrs Bourke, and Mr Crowther. Sincere thanks to Mr Goward who drove the big bus, Mrs Tina Terrill, who as a volunteer, drove her 12-seater bus and Julie Scott, who is a volunteer, did all our catering.
We stayed in Grantville and travelled out to perform in San Remo, Newhaven, Leongatha and Wonthaggi. We visited Phillip Island and played Ten Pin Bowling, Laser games, Table Tennis and Pool at the Entertainment Centre. On Thursday evening we visited the Penguin Parade. We travelled across the bay on the Searoad Ferry to Portsea, and drove the rest of the way around to Grantville Lodge. We experienced a lot of rain and cold weather but none of this stopped us getting to our performance venues on time. The rain always managed to hold off whilst we unloaded the truck with all the gear and packed up again.
A sincere thank you to all our participating Senior Concert Band Members on such a great week. Your standard of musical performance was excellent and it was an extremely enjoyable week.
