The Penola Music Department has celebrated another successful ‘musical’ term. Over the last fortnight we held two wonderful music concerts – Unit 4 VCE Music Night and Rock Band Night!

Unit 4 VCE Music Night
On Thursday 1 September our Year 12 VCE Music Performance students performed their Unit 4 programs in the lead up to their end-of-year external performance examinations. For some of our Year 12 students, this concert was the culmination of six years of music performances at Penola. VCE Music Night was a great concert and a wonderful celebration of our Year 12 Music students. We wish our Year 12 VCE Music Performance students all the very best with their upcoming VCE music examination recitals.

Rock Band Night
After a two-year hiatus of live performances, we finally held our very own Rock Band Night featuring six Penola Rock Bands across all year levels, as well as various soloists throughout the night. Our soloists and rock bands put on an incredible and entertaining showcase, supported by an amazing lights show. Congratulations to all our soloists and rock bands for a truly wonderful night of rock music and a big thank you to our Rock Band Leaders – Mr Ben Stivala and Mr Matthew Erickson for preparing our students in the lead up to this annual event.
