KBB festival

The KBB Music Festival is happening all this week, where school orchestras and bands perform and compete.

Yesterday Mulan was there with her school orchestra, so the rest of us family went along to sit in the audience and enjoy the music.

Mulan was involved in three 30-minute sessions:

First up, Westlake entered the non-competition Pupuke Pops Players.  This was then followed by a huge multi-school play-in.

Then after lunch the Westlake Symphony Orchestra did their competition pieces.

(Mulan is front-right with her cello.)

The final Gala event is this Saturday, where the best four bands in each category (symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra, concert band and jazz band) play again.  We've bought tickets for the evening show, as WSO will be playing.
