EXTERNAL AUDITIONS

Friday August 7 2020

Toowoomba Anglican School is the leading Performing Arts school in the Darling Downs and beyond. Our renowned and award winning Performing Arts Program has seen exceptional results at local, state, national and international levels.

TAS will be holding auditions for external students to secure a place in our Performing Arts Program in 2021. These auditions in the TAS choral/vocal, instrumental, dance and drama programs allow prospective students to meet our Performing Arts staff and discover how each student can benefit from our high performance pathways.

BANDS AND ENSEMBLES

There were an impressive 13 ensembles available to our students in 2018. From our Year 3 and 4 immersion ensembles to our high level instrumental ensembles, there was an ensemble for everyone.

Our school is renowned for its choral program and we have many students singing at National and State level. With four voice teachers, we have many students from Year 1-12 who study voice. There are 15 choirs from Prep to Secondary. Students audition for high-level choirs, sing in our school choirs, undertake vocal examinations, compete in eisteddfodau and sing in concerts.
