June Tunes X

Tawa, and Tawa College in particular, has a long history of music. Every year, the College Music Department, either produces the Tawa Music Festival or June Tunes, which is the smaller event. All the feeder primary schools send choir members to the College once a week for eight weeks for rehearsals and the Intermediate have their own rehearsals. There is one final rehearsal with all the musicians the morning of the concert. This year was June Tunes X. As the current Head of the Music department said, he remembered in 1969 as a primary school pupil standing in the second row singing in a Tawa Music event and today he is the Head of Music.


Colin sang with other members of Redwood Year 5s and 6s. He was so excited on the evening as were many of the other kids.








This was the end of the evening with all the choirs either on stage on or on the side of the stage. The four young men in the front are MIB - Musical Island Boys, an internationally known babershop quartet, trained by one of the College staff. They are currently in America at the Internationally Babershop competition where they are hoping to improve on last year's third place.
