If you would like your son to be involved Musically at school, then now is the time to act!
We have some fantastic musical opportunities available for the boys.
LESSONS... Your son can sign up to learn almost any musical instrument they would like to. As in previous years, we have had boys learning all sorts from Flute to Trumpet to Chanter to Drums. If you would like your son to learn this year, then please sign up on jmcmusic.weebly.com . Cost is dependant on the tutor, but for the likes of Woodwind and Brass instruments, there is only a hire charge for the instrument.
CHOIR... (JMC Brotherhood) This non-auditioned choir is for all who enjoy singing, and even those who think that they are not too good at it. The signup form is: http://jmcmusic.weebly.com/choir-signup.html . We will aim for a great performance again at the annual Big Sing to be held in the Town Hall in term two. Hope to see your son there.
JAZZ BAND... The Jazz band will again be on Friday at Lunchtime. It is again lead by Ross Kane (one our itinerant tutors) and is also open for all boys at any level of tuition. Mainly for Brass or Woodwind instruments but not exclusively as we need a good rhythm section.
KAPA HAKA... Watch the notices for this... After last years performance, we would like to continue on from where we left off.
MUSICAL... This year we will have a Musical that your son may like to be involved in. It is called 'Rock of Ages'. Watch the notices or newsletter for more information.
PIPE BAND... Mark McNoe has taken over as band director, and if you would like you son to learn then, please use the Lessons signup sheet to inform us of this.
Other extracurricular groups that the boys can be involved in are: RockQuest (Band Contest for High School aged students), BandQuest (Band contest for year 7 and 8 students), Chamber Music small groups, Performances at Assemblies, Secondary Schools' Music Festival (term three) and Junior Workshop day (term four). See Mr James or Brad in the music room to signup for this.
If you would like to find out more about any of the above or feel you need something clarified, then please don't hesitate to contact Mr James on bruce@mcglashan.school.nz
