Trinity Students Excel at the Annual Balaklava Eisteddfod

A number of Trinity College ensembles competed at the annual Balaklava Eisteddfod in August. It was a wonderful day with our students achieving some outstanding results!

The Gawler River Middle School Choir received second place in the intermediate section and the North Vocal Ensemble received an Honorary Mention. Congratulations to all the students and to Tricia Hart and Steph Cole for their hard work preparing their choirs. 

The Blakeview and Gawler River Junior Choirs performed in the workshop section and were involved in a wonderful learning experience on stage. Thanks to Amanda Cox for giving this opportunity to the students who all performed beautifully.

The Jazz Vocal Ensemble performed in the highly competitive and large senior division achieving second place. A remarkable result given the exceptionally high standard amongst competitors. 

While the Wind Quintet did not win a place, the students gave a fantastic performance that received wonderful comments from the adjudicator.  

Of special note the Senior Clarinet Ensemble continued their winning streak taking out first place in the Senior Instrumental Ensemble section as well as being awarded the Champion Ensemble Trophy for the best ensemble of the day!

Congratulations to all the students and staff for their amazing work leading up to the event and during the competition.
