In 2011 we are looking for students who play one or more of the following instruments and can read music at least to a grade 2 level to form a large ‘Concert Band’

Strings, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, Keyboards, Bass Guitar and Drums are needed.

We will also be forming a ‘Rock Band’ which will consist of guitarists, drums and keyboards. Guitarists MUST be able to read music, either ‘tab’ or notes and know basic chords and progressions.

The 2011 Program begins with a 2 day 2 night residential camp at Stanwell Tops Conference Centre from Sunday 1 May to Tuesday 3 May. All students who wish to become members of this program must attend the camp.

This will include the cost of the camp and subsequent rehearsal days and performances at selected schools (no more than 2 other days) and an end-of-year concert. It will also cover tuition from qualified music staff, a booklet of music for the year and a CD.


About

Students from Years 4-8 in Public Schools in the Illawarra and South East Region of NSW who have been learning an instrument  for a minimum of 2 years are encouraged to apply to be part of the ISER Junior Band Program in 2011.

This program has been running for a number of years, and members of the group have gone on to become part of the ISER Performing Ensemble and the ISER Performing Company, performing as the Southern Stars Orchestra.
