My gosh… what a ride!!
Looking back at last year, I was incredibly excited to have been asked to take part in the 2022 State School Spectacular. Fast forward to the end of this years’ event, and I am happy to be basking in the post gig glow of an even bigger and better State School Spectacular experience.
This year, the drumline grew significantly, as did our role in the performance. In addition to performing in support of the orchestra for a number of pieces, I was tasked with composing a whole new drumline feature for which Chong Lim created orchestral backing and Deon Nuku choreographed a hip hop dance battle.. how fun!
It’s a rather special feeling seeing something you’ve created come to life, be performed to over 10,000 people and televised on Channel 7 and work with some incredible young musicians. I’m forever thankful I get to do what I do 🙏
