Intermediate Stage Band

The Intermediate Stage Band is currently conducted by Mr Stuart Byrne. 

This ensemble currently includes approximately 20 students and rehearses after school on Mondays at McKinnon Road Campus.

During this rehearsal students continue to develop their ensemble skills in the context of jazz, following on from their involvement in Junior Stage Band, and the other bands McKinnon offers. This includes playing more complex musical selections than in the junior bands with the intention of developing a greater range of musical expression, developing more independence and self-reliance within the group and widening students' understanding of music of the past and of different cultures through high quality repertoire. 

Performance activities they may expect to engage in include concerts in the school hall, and McKinnon's annual Winter Concert held at Robert Blackwood Hall, and events such as the Victorian School Music Festival.
