performances we have during the year.
The students would make regular
announcements and give updates on parade about upcoming events, concerts, etc.
They would also be in charge of helping setup for parade and class
performances. They will receive training on how to use the audio/visual gear in
the hall in order to do this. They would run messages and reminders, help with
organisation of music, scripts, letters home etc. and speak at important
events.

for arriving on time for rehearsals, to set-up and pack-up the conductor’s
podium and music stand when rehearsing/performing, to hand out and stamp music
when required, to place banners on music stands when performing and collecting
them afterwards, to report any music problems that arise during the week from
band members to the instrumental teacher and take on extra responsibility if
required.

who have shown a strong connection to the local community and are keen to be
involved in promoting the many cultural activities and events that occur throughout
our school year.
