Winter Music Festivals
As we approach the Winter Music Festival Season, students on both the Junior and Secondary Campuses are exploring and extending their musical skills in preparation for a variety of concerts throughout June-August. Staff and students are already well underway in preparing a wide range of repertoire in readiness for the Junior Music Festival (August), Senior Music Festival (June) and the HICES Music Festival (August). The department would like to welcome the school community to be part of these festive concerts. See Redlands Pulse for dates.
