Hornsby North Public School Band Program

The Junior Band Workshop is designed to support our younger musicians as they continue to build their confidence and ensemble skills. Students will rehearse their current pieces while experienced tutors work with them in both full band rehearsals and smaller sectional groups to strengthen technique, rhythm, and listening skills.

Students will need to bring their own morning tea.

There will be a short concert for parents at 12:30pm.

Students must be picked up at 12:45pm.

The Intermediate Band Workshop helps students take the next step in their ensemble playing and musical development. Students will rehearse their current repertoire while experienced tutors work with them in both full band rehearsals and smaller sectional groups to strengthen technique, rhythm, and listening skills.

Students will need to bring their own lunch.

There will be a short concert for parents at 4:45pm.

Students must be picked up at 5:00pm.

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.

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.
