ROCK EISTEDDFOD PROGRESS REPORT I am very pleased to say that our 2007 Rock

Eisteddfod entry is looking extremely good. The performers are working very well as a team and the finale has now been

fully completed and we are working on individual scenes.

Once these sections have been perfected we then move onto

the very important stage of linking all scenes to produce our

final product for presentation.

Our backstage team has also been hard at work creating our

spectacular props and sets. This year we have used some

incredibly vibrant colours that really make the art work stand out. I think the judges will be impressed with the detail in our

major sets.

Our costume committee has been meeting on a regular basis in order to develop original ensembles for our vast

range of characters, I'm sure the final products will be

outstanding as usual. These combined with our very inventive

hair and make up creations should once again show the

amazing amount of talent in the Rock Eisteddfod team.

Our Sponsorship Committee have also been very busy. It

looks like this will be our most successful year ever with

several new local traders taking up the offer to be acknowledged in our sponsorship booklet. Our entire team

has been working very hard in an attempt to further improve

on our excellent results in 2006. Should anyone wish to

assist in any of the areas listed above please contact me at

the college on 9438 1411 or simply drop by on Sundays

from 9.30am - 12 noon.

The Heats will be held at Vodafone Arena on Friday 3 August

and the Finals will be held at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday

13 September. I will provide information regarding ticket sales through the Newsletter and the Daily Bulletin as soon

as the details are provided to me by the Rock Challenge

Office. Many thanks to everyone in the team for their effort

and support so far.

Yes we have started all over again! We are all ready to better

our wonderful performance of last year, but we need all the help we can get. I would like to invite all interested parents,

friends and students to come along and help with costumes

this year.

It is not necessary to have sewing experience, just a willingness to have fun, talk and get a behind the scenes look

at how it all works. We meet each Sunday morning whilst the

students are rehearsing and use the school facilities. We

even provide morning tea. We look forward to seeing

everyone who would like to help. Lisa DowerLisa DowerLisa DowerLisa Dower
