Woodlea’s Pop-up Performance
On April 1, talented and dedicated middle school students participated in a wonderful ‘pop up’ performance during recess in the Junior Quadrangle at Woodlea Campus.
Blessed with a sunny autumn day and an enthusiastic Junior and Middle School audience, the Percussion Ensemble led by Mr Sebastian Vargas and Concert Band, led by Mr Andrew Clare, provided upbeat music and a lovely showcase of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
The Percussion Ensemble opened the proceedings with an original piece entitled ‘Samba Fun’ which featured bold and intricate rhythms played with strength and verve.
To conclude the ‘pop up’ performance, the concert band performed a heavy, funk styled piece encouraging the audience to join in and clap along.
The Music Department will hold a few more of these casual, joy-filled performances throughout the year, and look forward to showcasing further ensembles.
