2022 was another busy year for the Music Department at Nannup DHS with unique and varied performance opportunities and even an online Q&A session with Mick Cavanagh from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Last year students from Nannup DHS also performed at Band Festival in Perth. It was fantastic to see students from Nannup DHS working alongside students from Donnybrook DHS and Collie SHS. This was the second time we have collaborated with these schools, the first was at the 2020 Music Workshop at the Nannup Recreation Centre. The school would like to thank Instrumental Music School Services for providing free instrumental lessons and ensemble direction to our talented students.
