Group Concert Band
This year’s Concert band was a small, dedicated
group of students. Under the leadership of Mr
Cargill we learnt a range of repertoire and once
again upheld our high standard of performance.
We were awarded a silver award at the
Lindisfarne Festival of Bands in August.
On this occasion we joined with the Stage Band
and Junior Jazz Band. Two pieces that were
highlights for the year were Oblivion with Arran
Cargill-Brown as guitar soloist and Lest we forget,
our massed item at Music. Festival 2015. This
piece was a fitting finale to commemorate one
hundred years since the Gallipoli landing and
features a combination of the hymn Abide With
Me, The Last Post and a traditional Scotti sh
Lament. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part
of Concert Band throughout my time at Havelock
North High School.

It was a real pleasure to be a part of the Junior
Jazz Band this year. There was always a positive
atmosphere filled with fun whilst still
maintaining a sense of professionalism. Our mentor Mr Cargill was great at encouraging everyone
by pushing them out of their comfort zone and
taking everyone to their full potential as players.
The involvement in concerts such as the Lindisfarne Festival and the school Music Festival was a
brilliant experience for me and I’m sure everyone
else felt the same way. I think the involvement of
Junior Jazz Band
some of students from the Intermediate is great
