August is another busy and exciting month for the young musicians of St Paul's College. A reminder that weekly itinerant music lessons are a vital part of your son's musical education, so please remind him to check the timetable, be at his lessons every week and to practice regularly at home. 

We wish our Year 12 band 'First Impressions' all the best as they prepare for Stand Up Stand Out on Thursday 15 August. This is the first stage in the competition, held at Te Oro Art Centre in Glenn Innes. I am confident that their hard work and many hours of practice will be noticed by the judges!

KBB Festival is on Friday 16 August for the Concert Band. Your son will have brought home a permission slip for this event, which will be held at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. Our band is scheduled to perform shortly after 3.00pm, followed by a play in session for all the afternoon's schools to participate. All are welcome to be part of the audience and this will be finished by 4.30pm. 

On Friday 16 August, 7.00pm, please join us for an intimate evening of music in support of 28 talented young men from our college choir on their journey to the North Island Cadenza Festival Finale in Rotorua, taking place Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 August. The Musical Concert will feature performances by our very own students and guest acts. It promises to be a night not to be missed. $30.00 Tickets (Includes Hot Supper + Beverage)  **Dessert selection and home baking will be on sale throughout the Evening**
