Last weekend our top ensembles from each co-curricular music stream travelled to Greenhills Centre for the annual Radford music camp. There was a mixture of instrumentalists from Corelli Chamber String Orchestra and Bernstein Symphonic Wind Orchestra, and singers from Camerata and Chorale.

Being a member of these groups requires commitment and dedication. Every day was filled with rehearsals, where musicians worked closely with conductors and peers to perfect their sound for the year ahead.

The immersive environment at Greenhills allowed students to focus on their craft, develop ensemble cohesion, and gain confidence in their musical abilities.

Beyond the rehearsals, the camp was a fantastic opportunity for students to connect and build friendships across different groups. Breaks and social activities, including a lively trivia night, all helped to create lasting memories.

Whether through music or shared experiences, the camp fostered a strong sense of community, setting the stage for an exciting year of performances and collaboration.
