Last Saturday night, the 2023 Kool Skools Awards night was held and three MLMC students took to the stage. Studio 52 in Heidelberg hosted the event, featuring performances by three MLMC students — Celeste T (Year 12 Green), Kye A (Year 12 Orange) and Cassidy R (Year 10 Purple).
Each student had earned nominations in various categories and the highlight of the night was Celeste winning the prestigious award for Best Singer-Songwriter.
The venue was filled with MLMC students and families who came together to support our talented performers. Kye performed Ghosts, Celeste was on stage with her song Sand Dunes and Cassidy performed Green Heart.
Each song appears on the 2023 MLMC Kool Skools album called Protect the Flame. The songs were recorded by 14 students over two days at Studio 52 in August.
The Kool Skools program, which has been running for over 25 years, draws together musicians of all genres, giving students the opportunity to have their songs professionally mastered and released on CD.
