Director of Music | Mr Brad Esbensen

With Term 3 ending, I would like to wish all our musicians and families a restful break. We have a few activities taking place over the holiday break with the Red Thunder Drumline performing at the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers this Saturday, a brass camp for students sitting AMEB exams and students representing Terrace at the State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP) at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Congratulations to the Terrace Rock Band and Red Thunder Drumline on their performance at the Rugby last Saturday. They will perform again at the College Assembly in Week 1 of Term 4.
