Bands ready for Redcliffe Show ‘battle'

Local students will have the chance to showcase their musical talents at this year’s Redcliffe Show, during a Battle of the School Bands.

The up-and-coming musicians will battle it out while entertaining show-goers on Friday, June 27 at the Stage Precinct.

Redcliffe State High School will be among those performing, with students from three ensembles involved - Senior Concert Band, Junior Stage Band and Senior Stage Band.

Instrumental Music Teacher Andrew Will says more than 50 Redcliffe State High School students will be involved.

“There will be an adjudicator at the event to give feedback on the performances of all the bands,” he explains.

“Students will benefit by having live performance experience in front of a crowd and can reflect on their performance from the adjudicators report.”

Four other schools will take part in the Battle of the Bands – Albany Creek State High School, Southern Cross Catholic College, Humpybong State School and Scarborough State School.

Prizes will be awarded to top performers.

Andrew says being involved is an opportunity to support the local community by connecting with the Redcliffe Show.

“We, as a school, are delighted to be offered the opportunity to perform at the Redcliffe Show. Our students are looking forward to the experience of playing to the local community and to (receiving) feedback from the adjudicator,” he says.

See the Battle of the Bands action on Friday from 9.30am-2.30pm.

The Redcliffe Show is on June 27, 28 and 29. For more information, visit the website.
