The Concert Band and String Ensemble visits Shalom College throughout the year to participate in workshops and take advantage of their state of the art facilities and team of specialist instrumental music teachers.
These workshops provide a wonderful opportunity for students to familiarise themselves with the school, staff and students of Shalom while learning new music, participating in specialist lessons and performing in the Theatre.
There is NO additional fees involved with any local performances or competitions, however there may be a small fee to cover food costs at Workshops outside of school.
