Congratulations to our Year 7 & 8 student band 'Amplified' who performed together on the big stage on Saturday 30th!
BandQuest is steadily growing and was a big competition in Otago this year with two full days of performances by primary and intermediate age bands taking place at the Taieri College PAC.
John McGlashan's youngest musicians were represented on the stage by Amplified:
Charlie Hooson on Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar
James Lynch & George Muir sharing Lead Guitar and Bass
and
Samuel Riley on Drums
The boys absolutely rocked it - with Charlie earning an award for his star factor and Samuel coming away with best drummer on the day.
Click play above to watch their epic performance of 'Take Me Out' by Franz Ferdinand and 'Learn to Fly' by the Foo Fighters - and check out the excellent photos from BandQuest in the photo gallery below.
We're looking forward to working with these talented musicians as they move into the next phase of school - here's hoping to see some familiar faces on the RockQuest stage next year.
Speaking of familiar faces - Deaf Raccoon were back on stage to give a guest performance ahead of the RockQuest Finals this Friday 12th! Keep your eyes peeled for the stream on Friday evening and thanks as always for supporting McGlashan Music.
