Music Extravaganza Marks Spring

The annual Belmont City College Spring Concert Series begins next week. This year, attendees are in for a treat of eclectic musical stylings ranging from African drumming beats to hard rock.

The series, set to begin on Wednesday the 16th, is the product of months of hard work and preparation by music students at BCC and within the community, all headed by Miss Savanna Griechen who has worked tirelessly to ensure that this concert is the best we have seen yet.

“I’m very proud of the effort that my students have put in over the term.” Griechen responded positively when asked about the preparations that her department had put into the showcase.

“They have a chance now to show BCC and the community what they are capable of as young musicians. They are performing to a standard that would make any music teacher proud.”

The series, which runs on Wednesday and Thursday of week 9, is running very different shows on both nights.

Audiences on Wednesday night can expect to see the Senior and Junior concert bands performing. The bands are comprised of students from within Belmont City College and 70 students from the college’s feeder primary schools.

Lots of theme music from classics such as Rocky and the Phantom of the Opera will be played, as well as a special guest performance from the Southlake Concert Band.

Thursday night is slightly different with an African Drumming performance from the year 8 music students followed up by a rock show from Abusive Honour, BCC’s contemporary rock band. They will be performing covers from Greenday, AC/DC and The Killers. There will also be solo singing performances on the evening.

Tickets for the event are on sale. Adults can expect to pay just $7, while students and concession card holders will pay $4. $20 will get you a family pass.

Fashionistas on Showcase

The glitz, the glamour, and yes; the display of so much of the creative design talent of our students here at BCC.

Just like every year, 2009 will host the Belmont City College Fashion Parade where staff, students and proud parents will all get to see a showcase of themed clothing designs from Fashion students.

Keen fashionistas from years 9 to 12 have been working tirelessly to create some of the most stunning apparel to date, making 2009 a must-see year for the parade.

Without giving too much away regarding this years themes for the show, we can honestly say that they are amongst the most original to be seen yet.

The fashion parade will take place on Thursday 18th of September during the full-school assembly in the gym.
