Raising the Roof of the Robert Hoff!
The Battle of the Bands Inter-House competition raised the roof of our Robert Hoff Hall to a sold out house on Friday 22 February. We are incredibly proud of all the students involved as they independently created, directed, choreographed and rehearsed their performances.
The 29th annual Battle of the Bands once again upheld this proud tradition of Trinity, and saw the three house bands battle it out on stage, for the 2019 Battle of the Bands title, with energy, passion and oodles of house spirit. Most importantly, it was really lovely to see the wonderful support that each of the houses gave one another at rehearsals and throughout the performances.
The performances of all three bands were electric and energetic, and enthralled the audience throughout the night. There were three very distinct bands, each with their own unique style, and each performed entertaining and highly polished sets. Each band had a wonderful selection of repertoire, beautiful vocal and dance pieces, and outstanding instrumental performances.After a very entertaining night of rock, Mackenzie house came out on top and was crowned the 2019 Battle of the Band winners!
