St Teresa’s Catholic College music students brought home four gold and four silver medals from the Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival (QCMF). The festival is a celebration of music attracting more than 110 schools from across Queensland, bringing with them more than 500 ensembles of over 14,000 students.
Held at Villanova College in Coorparoo, students performed for the public and each performance is commented upon by nationally recognised adjudicators.
QCMF is the single-largest festival of its kind in the Asia-Pacific Region.
In only the second year of attending, St Teresa’s music students performed brilliantly with each ensemble winning at least one award. The vocal group performed in blustery conditions on an outdoor stage in the Contemporary Ensemble Section. With winds blowing music sheets and stands over, the group continued in a professional manner winning a gold award for their efforts.
Later the same day the group performed acapella in St James Church to a silent and stunned crowd and earned another gold award. St Teresa’s premier band Soul Collective was also awarded a gold as was smaller ensemble, Fuse.
The Stage Band, Concert Band, String Ensemble and Small Instrumental Ensemble were all awarded silver.
