ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Pipe Band perform at the AFL Grand Final

 

If you tuned into the AFL grand final, you would’ve seen the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Pipe Band perform alongside Robbie Williams.

Students Oscar Arnold, Katie Ayling, Alexandra Cavanagh, William Cavanough, Grace Pettaras, Cameron Wood and Pipe Master, Barry Gray performed the John Farnham classic ‘You’re the Voice’. The band drove down with their Pipe Master Barry Gray on Thursday for the experience of a lifetime and returned directly after their performance on Saturday.

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú’s head of community relations and enrolments Emma Calver said the students had a tremendous time and enjoyed playing to 100,000 people live and an estimated 35 million TV audience worldwide. “For all of the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú players this was their first major event and it does not get much bigger than the AFL Grand Final. The opportunity to perform at the AFL Grand Final was an experience of a lifetime. A huge thank you to their Pipe Master since 2020, Mr Barry Gray, for making this happen.

The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Pipe Band started in 2015 and was the inspiration of Deputy Head of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Junior School, Mr Peter Ayling. Peter felt it was fitting for a school in the Highlands to have a Pipe Band and under the stewardship of Pipe Master, Mr Rob Parker, the Pipe Band began and quickly expanded. The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Pipe Band currently has 12 pipers, two bass drummers, two tenor drummers and four snare drummers. Emma said ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú was very proud of its Pipe and Drum Band. “In 2022 they led the Bowral Anzac March and they add a huge sense of occasion to many ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú events, she said. They are passionate, talented and professional and such a credit to the College.”

Barry Gray runs a business called Pipers of Distinction and he has worked in the music industry for over three decades having performed for 28 years with John Farnham as well as on nine occasions with Sir Paul McCartney and toured with Bryan Adams in his Bare Bones Tour

A traditional rainbow of memories for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Year 12 class of 2020

Not all traditions have been hindered or stopped for the Year 12 graduating classes of 2020.

Students of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú put on a colourful display to take part in the annual rainbow photo for the graduating class.

Community relations officer and registrar Emma Calver said the school was very conscious that “our senior students have had a particularly challenging time during Covid. We are determined to make the end of their schooling as special as possible,” she said.

“The traditional Year 12 Rainbow photo at our Senior School Athletics Carnival is one tradition we managed to repeat.”

The photo brings together the students from each house colour for a bright and lasting memory.

Ms Calver said the Year 12 students have their last day on September 24 and plans for celebrations were being made around the current Covid restrictions.

“I am sure it will be a wonderful celebration,” she said.

“They are in good spirits and are currently doing their trial examinations.”
