Bands

Barrenjoey has an extensive band program with a concert band, stage band, training band and other ensembles. The band program is an extra-curricular activity that involves payment of a band fee and once a student has joined the program attendance at all rehearsals and performances with correct uniform and equipment is required.
Any student, irrespective of previous musical experience, is welcome to come along and try out for the training band, however they are expected to undertake tutoring on their instrument if necessary.

A parent committee is responsible for the hiring and payment of conductor's fees, workshop costs, purchase of music, repair and purchase of school owned instruments, organisation of band tours and newsletters.

Band fees are kept to a minimum and in 2006 they are $260 for the first child, $220 for the second child and the third child is free. These fees cover all music for all ensembles, repairs and servicing of the instruments and conductors fees. Instruments are also available for hire.
