Welcome everyone to this year’s end of year Gala Concert.
This year, the music program celebrates the 70th anniversary of the college, and we are proud of all of the hard work that our peers and also teachers have put into the music program this year. We think that there is nothing more fulfilling in life then watching a community of people come together to create art and the music program at Ringwood Secondary College is the best example of determination and creativity. We hope that tonight you will be able to appreciate the dedication and passion that every contributor of this program has put into their art, because it is the love for music and creation that allows Ringwood to be able to have these opportunities for learning at our school. We are very proud to be able to have stood by all these students this year.
It’s been another massive year for all of the music students and staff, with events such as Generations in Jazz, VSMF, school concerts, production, and Chamber Music. We would like to thank all the music students for their perseverance and support they have shown this year. It has been another wonderful year music! With that said, we are super excited to be finishing off this music year with the Gala Concert! Thank you for attending tonight and we hope you enjoy the show!
