Louis, Year 11

I play the saxophone and I love being part of the band and playing together with my bandmates. Music has given me the opportunity to share my love of music through performing.

Steven, Year 9

Music has brought me joy and I really enjoy being part of the school band. I've been playing the saxophone for about ten years now.

Jake, Year 9

I've been playing the trumpet in the school band for over a year now. Music is a new language that allows people to connect as they play one piece together.

Zeke, Year 11

I've played the bass for four years. Personally, I really like the communal feeling the band creates.

Vandy, Year 8

I play the piano and I love the sense of accomplishment I feel after performing.

Katherine, Year 9

I've played the flute for two years and I think playing instruments is a good skill to have.
