ROCK-FEST

Yesterday on the 1/11/11 our class band "WET CEMENT" (Leah,Luke,Hannah,Safari,Josie,Lilly-Mae,Hunter,Tom,Izzie,Harriet,Sapphira,Eylish, and I)
Went to Stoke School for a showcase of primary and intermediate school bands called "ROCK-FEST"

It went from 9:30-2:30, so it was a long day but it was great getting to watch all the amazing talent.
Our band was second to last out of thirteen bands.Lots of schools performed and all did amazingly, there were kids from 7-13yrs so there was a big range in ages.
We performed three songs...
"New Divide" by Linkin Park sung by Tom + back up vocals.
"Rolling in the deep" by Adele sung by Lilly-Mae + back up vocals.
"Bang Bang Bang" by Christina Perri sung by me + back up vocals.

I think that we were all very nervous because we only had about 2 weeks to practice an we changed songs a lot , but in the end we all had heaps of fun even if we had the butterflies!

We even got to hear " The Peasants " ( NZ's best secondary school band" sing their new single "let go"+ at the end of the day they did a draw where every school had a number that was put into a hat an the man pulled one out an that person won a black electric guitar thanks to "MUSIC PLANET" an guess what we won!!!!!!!

So all together it was a great day!
Can't wait till next year!!!!!!
