Australian Honours Ensemble Program

Last week I had the honour of rehearsing and performing with the wind ensemble within the Australian Honours Ensemble Program.  The rehearsals ran for eight hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with conductor David Law keeping the long sessions interesting.  The pieces chosen for the final concert to be held at the Conservatorium Theatre were An Original Suite by Gordon Jacob, Gumsuckers March by Percy Grainger, and Paprikash by Julie Giroux.  The difficult repertoire proved to be a fantastic challenge for the wind ensemble, and the performance was very fulfilling and enjoyable.  Many thanks to the Terrace Music department for supporting my application for this wonderful experience.

Junior QDU Debating 

With the Junior QDU round for Year 5 and Year 6 moved to tonight, we wish these young debating Terracians all the very best for their last debate of the season and the year.  

Our results with the younger students are certainly proving we are on the right path with our Debating program.  We look forward to reporting a clean sweep for the 5.1 team who have thus far won all their debates.
