PERFORMANCE MUSIC

Bands
Cherrybrook Public School has two bands, a training Band and the Performing Band. A parent committee organises and coordinates both bands. The band has been in operation at Cherrybrook for many years and children progress from the Training Band through to the Performing Band. A Band camp is held annually to hone the skills of the band members and to develop teamwork and cooperation among members. The band performs at festivals, Education Week celebrations, Musical Nights and Presentation Day.
