On Thursday 3 March, under the guidance of our Music Prefect Tayler Allwood, some of our VET and Instrumental Music students performed to a keen audience of about 50 students for the year's first Live at Lecture (LAL) event.
LAL began a few years ago, and is a fortnightly gig hosted by students. For our VET students, performing live is a large component of their assessment for the year, and is imperative in developing their skills of live performance in preparation for the 'real world' of music performance.
For some other students who are involved in our instrumental program, performing is something they have simply missed over the past couple of years with COVID-19 restrictions prohibiting them from partaking in what they love to do most.
For the audience, there was a buzz of excitement as they were able to again watch live music performances, and encourage their talented friends who so bravely shared their talents.
Last week, performers included Natalie Contebardo (Year 12 Red, vocals), Jack Drummond (Year 12 Blue, guitar), Taj Ruta (Year 10 Orange, drums), Mannix McGovern (Year 10 Orange, keyboard and vocals), Oscar Lyons (Year 11 Red, guitar), Sixten Franz (Year 11 Orange, vocals) and James Cameron (Year 11 White, guitar). A special mention to Tayler Allwood (Year 12 Gold) for organising the event.
We look forward to the next LAL next Thursday at lunchtime.
