This year&#8217;s concert will be based around \u201ccolour\u201d, which will determine the type of music and atmosphere of the night. It will be focused on the highest achieving members of our school in Wind, Jazz, and String Orchestras\/Ensembles.\u00a0 There will be a range of performances that change in numbers, intensity and instruments. It is a fantastic night, and I strongly recommend attending. The event will be held in the Centenary Hall on the Stanmore Campus, and will run from 6:30 \u2013 9:00 P.M.
