JohnNoble and Ryan Barwood from Orchestra Victoria talked to a group of fiftymusic students about the performing andmanagement side of the industry. They talked to us about the industry but also their love for music. I'm sure they haveinspired many students to aim for a career in music. Thanks to Miss Darmanin for organising the incursion, it was a veryworthwhile event!Sean Wales, Year 10Old Whitefriars Cricketers to play in the MCC Club XI season!Established in 1896, this elite competition is represented by many of Melbourne’s Private schools includingScotch, Xavier, Trinity and Geelong Grammar to name a few. Our aim is to have 20-30 players that willrotate through the team made up of current senior and past students. This is a friendly competition and weexpect OWC will participate accordingly. We will initially play in Division 2, which will cater for a range ofplayer standards.† Play on Melbourne’s best turf wickets (some suggest that a few are better maintained than the MCG’spitch).† Play as few or as many games as you prefer – we are flexible on commitment.† Games scheduled on a mix of Sundays or Saturdays.† 40 over a side format.† Season runs from late October to mid-December, and mid-January to mid-February.It will prove to be a great opportunity to continue your involvement with Whitefriars and also maintainyour cricket skills.For more information check the WOCA section of the College website or email oldwhitefriars@gmail.com.Page 6 Issue 27 12 October, 2012
