Music Competition – submissions due Week 4

It has been truly wonderful to see the entries to the Music Competition coming in. Next week (Week 4) is the last week that you can submit a recording of a performance and/or composition to the competition.

Here are some FAQs:

  • What’s in it for me? Every submission to the competition earns house points. High School students earn House points towards House Music! If you are chosen as a finalist, you will be invited to the Showcase Concert on Monday 3 April 2023 (Week 10). If you are a winner of your category there is a small trophy and a voucher prize. So, there is a lot up for grabs, as well as personal satisfaction and pride.

  • Who are the adjudicators? Our Showcase Concert adjudicators are professionals working in the industry. We are thrilled to announce our two adjudicators: Jason Noble and Naomi Crellin (pictured below). Jason is one of Australia’s best clarinettists. He is a renowned soloist and ensemble member as part of Ensemble Offspring. He has released his own albums and has appeared as a guest artist on many others. You will know him from previous years adjudicating the Music Competition! Naomi is one of Australia’s most well-known jazz and acapella singers and vocal arrangers. In 1996 she won Young Australian Composer of the Year. She is currently the Musical Director for Vocal Ensemble, The Idea Of North.

  • When do I have to submit a recording by? You have to submit a recording by the end of Week 4.

  • Where do I submit my recording to? You can submit your recording to this link.

We can’t wait to see your entries and tally up some House points! If you have any questions, please ask your music teacher or email Mr Owen.
