Thank You from the music department

Drum

The Music department would like to thank all the students, parents, carers, and the wider community for their ongoing support for the subject. During the year, we have been able upgrade a range of equipment due to your contribution to subject fees.

The biggest upgrade this year is a brand new, studio quality upright Yamaha piano. This will be placed in our multipurpose art space in C block for practice and performance assessments. Previously, piano assessments have been presented in the hall, where the school’s baby grand piano is located.

New equipment includes a new drum kit, three new guitars, recording speakers, a digital piano, two bass guitars and recording condenser microphone. The outcome for these latest items has created two new spaces. The first is an additional rehearsal space for junior and seniors and the second is a recording area that has been used to record our 2022 HSC Encore Performance Nomination and is also used for the Musical Ensemble Program’s Rock Band Fundamentals.

The final upgrades have been for the school’s live sound needs. These include a digital mixing console, two subwoofers, additional live speakers, wireless microphones, acoustic drum modulator, instrument microphones, wireless communication system and an ATEM Mini Pro. These items will be frequently used for assemblies, presentation nights, CAPA nights, orientation days, graduations and for multiple events Rose Bay Secondary College hold every year, now with the capacity to live stream. These items will also be a learning tool for the new VET Certificate III in Live Production and Entertainment course being offered in Year 11 and 12.

The Music department is incredibly grateful to have such an amazing, supportive, and dedicated community. We would not have been able to complete these upgrades without your support.

Thank you
