Big Band Theory

Big Band Theory is the College Band and we have just performed the song ‘The Pink Panther’ by Henry Mancini at the Junior CAPA Night. We practice mainly at recess during the week (there are different rehearsal times depending on the instrument) and for the last 4 weeks we have practiced on a Wednesday morning at 7:30 am so we could rehearse with the whole band. 

Big Band Theory has 15 members, ranging from students in Years 7 - 10. It consists of three violins (Emily Burchmore, Saumya Punj, Lauren Renouf), three flutes (Isabella De Leon, Moses Leveni, Advait Paravangat), three keyboards (Jack Brewer, Max Brewer, Sage Cheng), three electric guitars (Angelo Demian, Tristan Fegradoe, Claudia Fuimaono), a bass guitar (Phoenix Fuimaono) & drums/percussion (Aidan D’Silva, Kyle Sarol). We play a variety of music styles and the students work hard learning and perfecting their parts. I am very proud of the students, and of what we have achieved already this year. We are just about to start working on our song for CAN. 

We are always on the lookout for new members - in particular students who play woodwind (e.g. flute, clarinet, saxophone), brass (e.g. trumpet, trombone) & string instruments (e.g. violin, viola, cello, double bass). If you have your own woodwind, brass or string instrument and are interested in joining Big Band Theory, please speak with one of the band members or Mrs Cooper.
