B KBB AWARDS One hundred and nineteen Avondale College students in four different groups performed at last week's KBB Music Festival held at the Auckland Cathedral and St Mary's Cathedral Church. On Monday, the Taikaka Orchestra performed in the fringe festival in the Cathedral. This development orchestra showcased 32 junior students and is the heart of our future premiere groups. They performed under the direction of Mr Thompson and had a workshop in the cathedral with adjudicator Michael Joel. On Tuesday morning 46 players from the Symphony Orchestra travelled to the Cathedral to perform their competitive set led by Mr Stenbo. They produced a rich sound and showcased solos from Emily Kamimura on violin and Jeffery Guo on piano. Then on Tuesday evening the String Ensemble met at St Mary's Cathedral Church for their performance, wowing the audience with their passionate playing. Their set concluded with a performance of Barrage's Seven Wicked Reels, culminating in playing with their violins on their heads! On Thursday night the Big Band played with Mr Robinson and once again showed outstanding jazz style across a range of jazz music. On Saturday morning we learned that the Festival Committee had decided to award our String Ensemble the Chairman's Command Performance Award, which included a performance at the gala concert that afternoon. They met at the Cathedral at 2pm and performed their Irish Reels to a full house.
