2 Island schools are preparing to participate in the first stages of this year’s Rock Challenge and J Rock at the O2 Guildhall in Southampton.
More than 3,500 students from across Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset and the Isle of Wight will be rising to the challenge once again in 2018 and it all kicks off on Monday 19th February.
Priory School will be performing ‘Our Lady of Walsingham’ in the Rock Challenge on Tuesday 20th February, whilst Lanesend Primary School will be participating in the J Rock challenge on Thursday 22nd.
The Rock Challenge is an excellent opportunity for young people to perform live on a professional stage. This experience encourages an adrenalin-based high gained through performing, rather than using tobacco, alcohol or other drugs.
Teams of around 20 to 135 students, will have up to 8 minutes to perform their chosen theme to an audience made up of family, friends, VIPs, sponsors and a panel of industry professionals.
Supervising Event Manager, Sophia Campbell, is looking forward to another brilliant year of Rock Challenge® and J Rock™:
“Every school puts so much effort into their Rock Challenge® performance, the dedication from students and staff alike is fantastic to see! For many, Rock Challenge® is the highlight of the school year; I can’t wait to see what 2018 brings!”
