The String Ensemble performs for parents and guests at Presentation Night at Freshwater Campus

Welcome to the Band page of the Manly P & C association.

The band program at Manly Selective Campus is organised into four streams:

  • concert bands
  • stage bands
  • improvisation
  • strings

The concert stream has three bands, graded from lowest to highest as Concert Band, Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Wind Orchestra. In the stage band stream, the corresponding grades are the Stage Band, Big Band and Jazz Orchestra. In the improvisation stream, the S-Jazz and I-Jazz are performance groups and the ImproShop introduces students to the world of improvisation. The Chamber String Ensemble is a stream in its own right.
