Recount: News Report – RockShop BandQuest!!!

This is just in, coming live from the Kāhu Hapori! Last week two of our fabulous bands, Kāhu Kreators (with a ‘k’) and Beyond Manurewa had to attend to RockShop BandQuest! An exciting opportunity where bands from all over Aotearoa get to compete and show off their talented skills. Tuesday night was the night where TGS represented our school, in stage performance and audience manners. Although they’ve only received one award to Aisha for awesome violin playing, regardless to say that both bands did exceptionally well and will continue to practice for Prize-giving and maybe, perhaps Graduation. At NorthShore, Bruce Mason Venue, 14 bands came to compete and only 3 won: ” R n Flava” in 3rd place, “Rock Ninjaz” in 2nd place and “TM8” in 1st place winning $3000. It was a long night for all that were watching but it was said to be a phenomenal experience for everyone there – bands, families. Our bands can definitely say it was one of their biggest highlights. A wonderful experience

 for both bands got to be in, watching other schools perform and just being on stage, feeling thrilled about it. We hope this report will inspire other musicians or non-musicians to join band and to be involved with the program. This is TGS news signing off.
