The Orchestra and Senior Choir have been very busy rehearsing for the Northwest Music Festival that was held on Wednesday at Burnside High School in the Aurora Center. There were other schools like Cobham Intermediate, Avonhead School, Christ the King's School, St Josephs and of course Burnside High school. We were very proud that 2 of our senior Westburn Students (Kate & Jonathan) were the announcers for the evening and they did a fantastic job! The Westburn Orchestra, Cobham Orchestra, and the Burnside Junior String Orchestra all peformed. The Westburn Orchestra performed 2 pieces; the well known theme from William Tell Overture, and Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar. Cobham orchestra also performed a well known piece- the theme from Harry Potter (Hedwigs Theme), as well as the Russian Sailors' Dance. The Junior string orchestra from Burnside performed 2 classical pieces, and one of the pieces was conducted by Evie Hay (an ex Westburn Student!!!). Mrs Pritchard of course was accompanying us on the piano and we had Mrs Wilford conducting the massed choir. We were also fortunate to have 4 Burnside High School Band Members on Bass, Drums, and other guitars.
Kaelan Eketone and Michael Cai accompanied the Westburn Senior chior on their own item: Top Of The World, and Clouds with drums and guitar. They were amazing too. We all had a fantastic time!
