Last week our continuing and Grade 6 Esk Band members went to Newstead college for a combined rehearsal. Coming together with other schools for such rehearsals helps us to work together with others, make new friends and connect with the greater music community. It is always an amazing experience playing in a larger band; we get to hear so much more than we do in our smaller school band, and working together towards the same goal brings great fun and a strong sense of belonging.
