Column 344

Leo, Roving Reporter Report from: the bus Story filed: NSW State Band Championships Hi there. Last weekend my school concert band travelled down to Penrith in Sydney for the NSW State Band Championships. We had an early start on Sunday to get down to Sydney in plenty of time for our section. It wasn't a particularly interesting bus ride down, it was just really boring. Eventually we arrived at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre where we waited around for at least half an hour then we moved our stuff inside and shortly after, we warmed up and performed. Personally I don't think we did too bad but as of writing this I don't know what we placed. After we were all done the rest of my band got back on the bus, but my mother (who also came down to watch) and I stayed behind as I had an orthodontist appointment In Sydney the following day. We got a bite to eat in the food court across from the Centre and headed to the train station to get to our accommodation for the evening. The following day we got up to go to the orthodontist, I got my check up and happily my teeth didn't hurt that much afterwards. We then got some food at another food court, sat down for a bit and enjoyed ourselves before heading back to Central to catch a train/bus/bus back to Bathurst. So, lots of eating and sitting in public transport. Until next time Leo Roving Reporter
