Music Our orchestra, concert band, stage band and junior jazz band were all boosted by an amazing crop of new year nine musicians, including seven saxophone players! Thanks must go to Mrs McHattie at Havelock North Intermediate for the fine work that she has done in inspiring and motivating so many to take up an instrument and in making cultural involvement a valuable and rewarding experience. The collaboration between our two schools continues through a combined Jazz Band which meet on Wednesday mornings at 7.45. This fun group is open to all wind, brass and percussion players from years 7-10, playing music from traditional jazz to rock and will shortly be welcoming 7 new trombone players to their rank.
