The 2025 Autumn Concert was a resounding success, showcasing the extraordinary talent and dedication of Scotch Oakburn College’s music students and staff. Held on Thursday 22 May, the evening featured a rich and varied program that delighted a full house of families, friends, and staff.
From the stirring opening by the College Bagpipes and Drums to the final notes of “Rock and Roll” by The Association, the concert was a celebration of musical diversity and student achievement. Highlights included powerful performances by the Concert Band, Big Band, and College Choir, as well as captivating solos on voice, flute, piano, guitar, clarinet, and even erhu.
The program also showcased the stylistic and technical proficiency of our most experienced performers in groups like Wandering Notes, Stay Sharp, and the Contemporary Music Ensemble. Each performance reflected the hours of rehearsal and the passion of our young musicians, guided by the expert direction of our Music staff.
Congratulations to all performers, ensemble directors, and the student emcees who brought warmth and professionalism to the evening. The Autumn Concert continues to be a cherished tradition that reflects the spirit and creativity of our College community.
