On Monday 24^thJune, St Pius X School Choir participated in the Hub School Assessment in preparation for the Catholic Schools’ Music Festival in September. Our 32 students were joined by 9 other visiting schools making a total of 185 choristers singing their hearts out in the Hall to Ms Denise Rothall, the Festival Director.  It was a long morning, 9-11.30, but all students had a lot of fun singing and improving on their choreography.  Ms Rothall now has the unenviable task of placing all 80 choirs in South Australia on one of the 4 nights of the Catholic Schools’ Music Festival which will perform at the Festival Theatre in September (Term 3 Week 10), so that each night has a well- balanced, gorgeous sound. Ms Rothall also auditioned soloists for the 5 solo sections in the repertoire, reserved for primary school students. Schools had to have their own auditions for these solo parts, as each school could only put forward one soloist for each of the 5 songs at the Hub Assessments.  Congratulations to the 5 students who auditioned; Morgan S 6A, Emmeline A 5RD, Jacqueline K 5RD, Mariam B 5BL and Charlotte D 5BL. We will be notified in Week 1, Term 3 as to which night we will be performing on, and if any of our St Pius X soloists were successful in getting a ‘call back’ and progressing to the next round of auditions.
