One of the bands competing in the rock and roll event, Kismet, played a teaser event at Seadoone Mall on August 2. The band is made up of mostly Grade Nine learners. Another band set to perform, The Golden Super Hawks, provided all the sound for the teaser event and let the young rockers build excitement for the upcoming battle of the bands.
Organiser and teacher at the school, Abbygail Scott, said the event follows the success of last year’s concert, Melodies and Memories. This time it grew to include a battle of the bands competition for fledgling bands.
She said that the line-up on the day, from 14:00 onwards, includes The Golden Super Hawks, Kith & Kin, Sweetwater Rock Band and You First. Opening for the learners’ competition is Amethyst All Girl Cover Band at 11:00, and Free Your Minds will play after the competition.
There will be a variety of vendors selling their crafts and wares. Those interested in attending are encouraged to bring a picnic basket.
You can pre-purchase tickets on the Karri application or at the school’s finance office for R40. Alternatively, tickets will be on sale on the day for R50 cash.
