Wrapping up our music celebrations with Instrumental Fanfare 2026
To end what was a very busy week of music, our Instrumental Music students again played at the Pilbeam Theatre on Thursday 21 May as part of the statewide Instrumental Fanfare competition.
Instrumental Fanfare is the biennial statewide festival of bands and orchestras from Queensland state schools. It showcases the exciting music-making that occurs in school-based ensembles across the state. The emphasis for Instrumental Fanfare is on improving the quality of ensembles, promoting the highest possible standard of performance, striving for excellence, and encouraging participation.
All of our ensembles performed well, with the following results being awarded to our ensembles:
Concert Band - Platinum Award
Chambers Winds - Silver Award
Chamber Strings - Gold Award
These achievements would not be possible without the time and energy of our dedicated Instrumental Music teachers - Ms Parker, Mr Gazzola and Mrs Holbeck.
Thank you once again to our wider Instrumental Music team - Teigh, Mrs Stubbs and Miss Thomasson - for all of their work leading up to and on the day. Our thanks also go to Sienna, Max, Charlotte, Joshua and Lilliana who also gave up their day to lend their support to our Instrumental Music students by assisting backstage at Fanfare.
We are very proud of our students' achievements at Instrumental Fanfare and thank them for representing Rockhampton State High School so well. Congratulations!
