Feast of music

 

Brisbane Water Secondary College music students are being offered "a feast of excursions and competitions".

All children studying music as a subject have been invited to attend two "incursions".

The first incursion is Eddie Quahnsah - 'African Rhythm', a flamboyant experience demonstrating African percussion and music, on June 17.

The second incursion is Drum Beat - 'The Art of Hitting Things', an energetic demonstration of drum techniques and styles, and a history through the ages of the drum kit, on August 1.

School work will be linked with these two performances.

In other music events, the seniors of the school will visit Lisarow High School to view Mixmaster demonstrating technology within music composition, on May 20.

The school has also recently entered a group of music students into the Central Coast Eisteddfod.

This Eisteddfod is open to musicians of all ages, not just for school students.

Competition dates are as follows: Popular Vocal - September 6-8, Solo Drum competition and Secondary School Age Rock Band and Open Rock Band - June 21-23.

The main venue for the Central Coast Eisteddfod is Laycock Theatre, Laycock St, Wyoming, however some may be at a different venue yet to be advised.
