The stage band is made up of woodwind , brass , percussion , bass , guitar , piano and vocals , that plays a variety of musical styles . As a newcomer to the band this year , I couldn ’ t wait to try out lots of new and exciting music , and I was not disappointed . We ’ ve played a range of awesome music this year , including Pick Up the Pieces , Caravan , Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow , and crowd favourite , Careless Whisper . We had many performance opportunities over the course of the year , playing at Havestock , Music Festival and Hawke ’ s Bay Festival of the Bands . My personal favourite was the Music Festival , when everyone ’ s hard work paid off and it was a super fun , incredibly rewarding performance !
Of course , the band wouldn ’ t be complete without the amazing Mr Wuts , who always brings great energy and enthusiasm every week , and puts an amazing amount of effort into helping us to sound our best . Not to mention Mr and Mrs Cargill , whose talents on trumpet and keys have been much appreciated . A huge thank you to all of them . Stage band is such a fun environment to be in , and I ’ ve really enjoyed spending my final year playing with such talented young musicians . I look forward to seeing what the band does in the future .
