On May 12 and 15, more than 90 students from Senator O'Connor College School participated in MusicFest Canada: The Nationals, a national festival celebrating excellence in music education. This year’s event brought together over 6500 students from across Canada.
Under the direction of Mr. Stephen Griffiths, four ensembles represented Senator O'Connor and earned the following ratings:
Saxophone Ensemble – Gold
Concert Band – Silver
Senior Jazz Band – Gold
Choir – Gold
In addition to performing, each ensemble took part in a 30-minute workshop with a respected conductor specializing in their discipline. These workshops offered valuable feedback and insight, giving students the opportunity to reflect on their performance, refine their skills, and deepen their understanding of ensemble playing.
The experience was both rewarding and educational, highlighting the dedication of our students. Congratulations to all who participated!
