Instrumental Opportunities at Brigidine
The Instrumental program at Brigidine is a great co-curricular activity to be a part of. You can learn something brand new or pick up where you left off. Some areas you can join include:
- Concert Band
- Woodwind Ensemble
- Percussion Ensemble
- String Ensemble
You might have noticed the instrumental activities being promoted more and more this year. This is because it is an awesome and crazy fun group!
Basically, you can have lessons with the lovely instrumental teachers, learn outside of school or just show up and jam out. If you are interested, you can also take part in exams where you play your instrument, a little bit of singing and get marked on some theory. But don't worry if that sounds absolutely terrifying, it's optional!
There are numerous groups to be a part of and if you can't make one, chances are there is one really similar. Just for example, if you can't make it on Friday mornings for percussion ensemble, hit up concert band on a Thursday afternoon!
In the instrumental program, we go to various competitions with other schools and we always have a whole lot of fun.
