We Will Rock You!

Students brought the songs of Queen to life in an uplifting and moving performance, which demonstrated the power of music, and community.

Students from year’s five to ten have been rehearsing for the past four months during the ASA programme. The production has seen over ninety students involved both on the stage and behind the scenes.

For many of the performers, this was their first experience in a BSG production and it is fantastic to see so many of students from the school challenging themselves to get involved. The musical is based on the hit songs from the iconic rock band, Queen.

Students sung, danced and acted their way through the eighty-minute show with songs such as ‘I want to break free’, 'Another one bites the dust’ 'We will rock you’ and of course, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Many of the lead roles were double cast, allowing for more opportunities for students to perform. Some fantastic performances were seen from our lead characters:

• Galileo played by George He and Dhruv Daryani
• Scaramouche played by Reva Devani and Airi Shinobe
• Brit played by Lukas Prendi
• Killer Queen played by Mona Prendi
• Oz played by Alice Contestabile and Noemie Barthes
• Buddy played by Grace Schmuelling and Kyra Garabedian
• Khashoggi played by Dylan Keelin and Branden Xu

The cast would not be complete without our supporting performers and a huge congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic performance. The students clearly enjoyed themselves both in the performances and the after-show celebrations.

During production students develop their performance skills in all three performing arts genres, as well as developing their ability to be expressive. Students also work as part of a community developing self discipline, collaborative skills, team work, responsibility, commitment and respect. Production is a great way for students to enhance their learning and we look forward to starting the process again in the next academic year.
