Concert Band Report

REPORT

The year 2022 has been an active and fulfilling one for the Concert Band. Our top instrumentalists are normally Grade 7 boys who have been members of the Concert Band for four years in some cases. This year we are proud to note that some of our most advanced musicians have emerged already in Grade 5 and 6. Part of the reason for this is the advent of the Reading Band which functions as a training ground and a catalyst for the skills of our younger boys.

“THIS YEAR WE ARE PROUD TO NOTE THAT SOME OF OUR MOST ADVANCED MUSICIANS

HAVE EMERGED ALREADY IN GRADE 5

AND 6.”

Every year, our boys showed their enthusiasm and commitment to being skilled members of the Concert Band at a younger age. The Music Department is always awed at the dynamism and unbridled talent of our Wynberg boys as they grow into their various roles within the Concert Band. Different kinds of music, ranging from rock to classical and jazz, require different rhythmic feels, different sorts of articulations and various stylistic affectations which our boys have learned and expressed with admirable precision.

Finally, we are grateful to our Grade seven boys and their families for their dedication and talent, as well as generally functioning as good examples of what we consider a wellrounded boy. Very often our grade seven boys wear a variety of badges indicating that they excel in all four pillars of our school.
