Wesley Interschools Music Festival

The Interschools Music Festival 2022 took place in Wesley College on 4 and 5 March. Gonzaga entered four groups into the competition. The Choir came first in the Boys’ 3 and 4 Part Choir competition, winning the Frank Hughes Cup; the Chamber Group took First Class Honours in the Chamber Music O15 competition, and the Trad Group came third in the Traditional Bands O15 competition. The Orchestra also took part and played brilliantly, but were unlucky this year. Congratulations to Ms O’Brien and to all the students who worked so hard to prepare for this competition. They were all presented with music ties in recognition of their achievements.

Thanks to Mr Earley for the photos.
