Music Camp Talent Quest

Show off your secret, or not-so-secret, talent at the Music Camp Talent Quest on Tuesday evening. Students who wish to participate should have a well-prepared act that is appropriate for Music Camp students from ages 9-18. It could be serious or funny. Students who would like to participate must register their interest with Mr Burley by the first Monday of camp. They should bring whatever gear they need and, if using a backing track, should have it fully downloaded and given to Mr Burley by the last Friday before camp.

Final call for Emanuel School Music Camp 2019!

Our Music Camp participants list is now finalised and a group of 130 talented students from Years 4 to 12 are registered to attend in July.  A detailed information letter with a packing list will be sent out to attendees mid-term. If you are unsure whether you have registered or not, please check that your name is on the lists on the noticeboard in the Music Department.  If your child is a member of the eligible ensembles and you have missed signing up or if you have any questions, please urgently contact Joanne De Araujo at jdearaujo@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

Night of Song (information for soloists)

Please mark in your diary that Night of Song is on Thursday 22 August. This very popular concert is our main annual event for choirs as well as a number of vocal soloists.  Aspiring soloists who are planning to audition for Night of Song, please note that this year our theme is Musical Theatre, so we are giving you plenty of advance notice that you will need to prepare a song from a musical.

Kornmehl Gate and Music Room Door open for musicians from 7.00am-7.45am daily

Due to feedback about the effect on musicians of closing the Kornmehl gate and Music door, Mr Watt is willing to trial allowing musicians who have early morning rehearsals and/or have heavy instruments to enter via the Kornmehl gate and Music door between 7:00am and 7:45am sharp. From 7:45am students will need to walk through the Avoca or Waxman gate to come to rehearsal and/or bring their instruments down to the M Rooms.

In the afternoon, musicians should please continue to take their instruments with them out of the Avoca or Waxman Gates.
