The romance lives on in this classic well loved musical. Set in the 50’s Danny Zuko finds himself torn between following his heart and following the expectations of his Greaser mates. His summer romance with Sandy Dumbrowski seemed all but a memory until she unexpectedly becomes enrolled at his school, Rydell High. The Pink Ladies quickly take Sandy under their wing and what unfolds is a rollercoaster of romance, friendship and rock’n’roll.

Jazz Band & Concert Band

A range of students from across all year levels participate in both the Jazz Band and the Concert Band. Students skilfully play a variety of instruments ranging from the double bass through to the flute; the drums and percussion; the guitar and the piano. Most students have individual instrumental music lessons which are organised through the school during school hours, both with THS music teachers and private tutors.

The Jazz and Concert Bands have played on a number of occasions through the year, at intimate soirees, eisteddfods; engagements for the community such as the opening of the Community Bank and still to come, playing at our Presentation night.

Our bands are guided by Miss King, Mrs Hoekstra and Mr Steele, who will retire at the end of this year.

Community Involvement

Ms. King, members of our School Band and Mr. Bryan Leaf, Manager of the Trafalgar and District Community Band, with the new music stands which were donated by the Bank.

Choir

This year our Choir under the guidance of Miss King has performed for the public on a number of occasions.

During August, the Choir performed most exquisitely at the Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod. It was a truly wonderful experience to hear them sing. The Choir sang "The Water is Wide" and "Tears in Heaven" and were justifiably very proud of their efforts.

The singers were awarded third place which is a credit to both the students and Rebekah King for their commitment and hard work.
