Last Tuesday, Dilworth’s annual Arts Showcase brought together a remarkable display of student talent across music and drama. The event celebrated our students' hard work, creativity, and dedication, who spent countless hours preparing for this special night.
Highlights included captivating performances by award-winning Fortissimo, the Senior Big Band, both Year 11 and Year 13 Drama, the Senior Chamber Orchestra, and our Junior Concert Band. It was also the first time the Dilworth Symphony Orchestra had played and a showcase of talent from individual performances by Alex Bai, Joshua Futi, and Yi Yang. Each piece reflected not only the students' skill but also their passion for the arts.
This year's showcase reminded us of our school's incredible talent. David Stent reminding us on the night, “… you reap what you sow; put in the hard work, and you will be rewarded.”
Congratulations to all the performers and their dedicated teachers for a memorable evening.
