Music- October Edition!

Music has been action packed with concerts, showcases, assemblies and full day events.

The OG Club Concert
On the 7th October, St George's College Music Department hosted a concert displaying the hard work and talent of Senior students. We had solo performances from Acoustic rock pieces to jazz vocal items. The Senior Vocal Ensemble and the St Georgian Community Choir also starred in the show performing choral pieces. It was a successful event with everyone enjoying the beverages and delicious empanadas provided by the OG Club. A big thank you to David and Johnnie for inviting St George's College to hold a concert in this beautiful venue.
There is another concert scheduled for next year at the OG Club, so keep your eye on the 2012 calendar!
Here are some photos from the concert

 Founders' Day- The Music Stage!
The Music Department this year took Music on Founders' Day to the next level. On Saturday, 1st October from 10am to 4pm there was not stop music playing all day on the outdoor stage. The atmosphere was the best part with parents, students and friends gathering around, eating helados or panchos and enjoying the many different musical items presented on the main stage. We had special guest bands, An amazing Beatles cover band, St Hilda's College student band and ex St George's students performing as well has prep instrumental students, Senior Vocal Ensemble, ES3 student Band, Senior bands, Boarder's Jamming band,  solo vocal and instrumental performances and the St Georgian Community Choir!
We also offered African drumming workshops hosted by Mr Simon Roberts which were very fun and highly interactive for all ages.
A big big thank you to our sound man (sonidista) Hernan- He worked all day in the sun and created a seamless event- Thank you so much!
And thank you to everyone for being a fantastic audience- the day had 'una buena onda'!
