The aim of the band program is to provide musical enrichment through the playing of an instrument. The school band program offers Year 3-6 students an opportunity to join the training or concert band, which is directed by a professional conductor. Students train twice a week and play at various performances throughout the year, both at the school and in the community including various festivals. Band students also get the opportunity to attend a two-day band camp. Students joining the band for the first time will start in the training band and then progress to the concert band in their second year.
The WPS band is a self-funded sub-committee of the Wakehurst P&C and is managed by a team of parent volunteers. To operate well and share workload the committee must consist of at least 3-4 people.
New volunteers are always welcome.
