This is Jared’s final year with the State Band and the Arts Unit ensemble program where he has held the positions of first flute and piccolo for 8 years. This week’s performances mark the 46th time Jared has performed at the SOH.
The Festival brought together over 700 hundred student instrumentalists from public schools across NSW. The State Senior Band consists of 63 students representing 31 metropolitan and 32 regional public high schools. Each selected student represented their respective schools with pride, wearing the formal uniforms of their schools on stage, creating a sea of colours.
