🎶 Celebrating our talented musicians! 🎶

We’re incredibly proud of our three instrumental ensembles who performed at the KBB Music Festival last week.

Congratulations to our Carmel Orchestra, who received a Bronze Award, and our String Ensemble, who were awarded Highly Commended! 👏🎻

A huge congratulations also to our Jazz Band, with all three ensembles delivering fantastic performances and showcasing the dedication, talent and hard work of our students.

A special thank you to our music staff for their continued commitment to developing our musicians — and we’re now on the hunt for some talented trombone players to help our Jazz Band reach award eligibility in the future! 🎺

Well done to all our performers — you should be very proud! 💙🎵
