Music
Ipswich Junior Music Eisteddfod
During Week 5, a number of our talented Junior, Middle and Senior Music ensembles proudly represented WestMAC at the Ipswich Junior Music Eisteddfod. These students were outstanding ambassadors for our community, demonstrating excellence, commitment, teamwork and musicianship, both on and off the stage. In addition to ensemble performances, many students also chose to showcase their talents in solo and small group vocal and instrumental sections. Congratulations and well done to all students involved — your dedication to music and your exemplary conduct made us all very proud. Thank you must also go to all staff, ensemble directors and accompanists for your outstanding commitment to the extra-curricular Music program.
