Hornsby North Public School Band Program

A 2-night, 3-day camp held at CRU Galston Gorge, where students will be in rehearsals and tutorials with professional music tutors. Much of our musical growth and maturing happens at this camp.

A celebration of NSW Education, this is a chance for our band program to perform for the wider school community.

The Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival is one of the largest school band festivals in the country. It is non-competitive, with schools (instead of receiving 1st, 2nd, etc.) receiving Gold, Silver, or Bronze awards based on their ability in their section. This event will be held at Knox Grammar.

Hornsby North frequently are invited to perform at Asquith Girls’ Musicalé, where many local school bands perform for the local school communities.

Wind Ensemble were successful in being selected as a featured item for the Primary Proms Coorong Concert on Tuesday, September 23rd, playing Pueblo (Land Of Ancient Peoples). Wind Ensemble students will travel via bus from school to Town Hall during the school day to sound check, and return then return to school. Students will then need to make their own way in to Town Hall for the performance. Tickets go on sale at 9am August 19. These tickets will sell out fast so it's important you grab them as they become available. We look forward to playing for you at Sydney Town Hall!

Hornsby North Public School has been hosting the Hornsby North Band Festival for more than 10 years, and it continues to be an incredibly popular band festival. Bands receive adjudication from two respected band professionals and are graded as either Highly Commended, Credit, Distinction, or High Distinction. A band from each section will be recognized with an award, and a school or band that demonstrated particular excellence over the course of the day will be presented with the Capaldo Award.

Band Party is our end-of-year celebration. All of our ensembles perform, and we recognise the achievements of our students, committee, staff, and conductors.
