Generations in Jazz Triumph
Last weekend the Vocal Group led by Miriam Crellin participated in Division One Vocal Ensemble Section. There are 2 divisions in the Vocal Ensemble Event and 3 divisions in the Instrumental Jazz Ensemble Section. There were over 2,500 students particpating in the whole event from all over Australia over the weekend. We left on Friday May 4 and drove for 6 hours to Mt Gambier SA. We had a rehearsal with the band for 20 minutes for our own choice song. The Vocal Ensemble section was on Saturday morning and we performed along with 12 other Vocal Ensembles in our section. In the afternoon and the evening we watched and listened to performances from other schools, students at the Generations Jazz School and professional musicians. One of the highlights was the performance from 'The Idea of North' an acapella Vocal Ensemble.
The results for the sections were announced on Sunday afternoon. In the Division One Vocal Ensemble Wesley College came third, Marrytville (SA music school) came second, and Princes Hill Secondary came first. CONGRATULATIONS to Miriam Crellin and the VOCAL GROUP on an outstanding performance. We have a recording of the performance and we will give you the details soon to view it. Members of the Vocal Group are Claudia Rizza, Suzie Lawrence, Mary Wilde, Joel Trigg, Maille Halloran-MacKay, Meg McCartney and Connor Harry-Blackall.
