Big Band Theory
Big Band Theory is a band full of talented musicians that loves playing a variety of genres. It also boasts a variety of instruments - bass guitar, electric guitars, drums, congas, 2 violins, a flute and vocals. We seem to change our instruments depending on what song we are playing! We have been rehearsing several times a week throughout the year - either at recess or lunch (plus early morning rehearsals as a whole band (7:30am) in the lead up to a performance) and have had two performances during the year. Our first performance was at the Junior CAPA night - where we played Henry Mancini’s ‘The Pink Panther’, and our most recent performance was at CAN where we played Santana’s ‘Smooth’. Big Band Theory consists of Saumya Punj (violin), Lauren Renouf (violin), Isabella De Leon (flute) Moses Leveni (vocals), Sedric Castor (vocals), Kyle Sarol (drums/vocals), Aidan D’Silva (congas), Angelo Demian (bass guitar), Tristan Fegradoe (rhythm guitar) & Claudia Fuimaono (lead guitar). All students get involved with the arrangement of the songs and they have great ideas! I am very proud of the students, and of what we have achieved this year. We are always on the lookout for new members - in particular students who play woodwind, brass & strings instruments. If you have your own instrument and are interested in joining Big Band Theory, please speak with one of the band members or Mrs Cooper next year.
