Students stars of the show
STUDENTS from the Atherton Tablelands Instrumental Music (ATIM) program will be the stars of the show at the monthly Sunday in the Park concert on 14 September, hosted by the Yungaburra Community Rotunda.
Lachlan Szery, who has directed the ATIM program at Atherton State High School for the past seven years, leads both high school and primary ensembles. Under his guidance, the ensembles have performed in numerous concerts, showcases, and competitions, including the 2018, 2022, and 2024 Fanfare Tablelands heats and finals, as well as Cairns Junior Eisteddfods.
The Southern Tablelands Primary Concert band consists of students from Herberton State School, Ravenshoe State Schools, Walkamin State School, Malanda Primary, and Malanda High. This ensemble will come together for the first time to perform for this particular concert.
They look forward to presenting a diverse range of pieces, from concert band pieces.
The Malanda High School Band consists of dedicated and enthusiastic musicians who rehearse weekly on Thursday mornings. This ensemble showcases the talent of Malanda High’s students at various performances and school functions throughout the year, such as ANZAC ceremonies, leadership inductions, and awards nights.
Band members also proudly represent Malanda High at external music programs like the State Honours Ensemble Program.
All instrumental music students at Atherton High participate in the school’s concert band, rehearsing every Wednesday afternoon. The Atherton State High Concert Band has competed in multiple Fanfares, Eisteddfods, performances, and showcases.
In 2022, they received a double platinum in the instrumental Fanfare and followed up with another double platinum in the 2024 competition.
The free concert in the park will be from 3pm-5pm. Parking is available via Short Street. In case of rain, the alternative venue will be the Yungaburra Rec Shed, Barrine Road (next to the tennis courts).
