Rockshop Bandquest is Aoteaora’s live music event for Primary and Intermediate aged school students. In its fourteenth year, the programme annually hosts hundreds of young bands in venues throughout the country.

On Wednesday night, two groups of our students went to the Bruce Mason Centre to perform in the Rockshop Bandquest competition. These students have been working incredibly hard to get their bands ready, and Wednesday night saw them up on stage giving it their all. The first band, 'Red, Black, and Gold', performed Beggin by Maneskin, and Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. The second band, 'The Zipties', performed Symphony of Destruction by Megadeath, and Creep by Radiohead.
They all had an amazing evening, and Shaira Perez won Best Drummer of the evening!!! Congratulations Red, Black, and Gold, and The Zipties, and congratulations Shaira!
