Bandquest
is held each year at Clarence St Theatre and attracts bands from
primary and intermediate schools all over the Waikato. Te Pahu School
has done well over the last few years with Summer Souls and Wha Out previously picking up a number of awards. Not to be outdone (especially by Cameron and Declan's older siblings) Three Second Rule
picked up two awards - Best Lyrics and 2nd Place overall! A fantastic
result and very much deserved after months of practice. They played
their two original songs beautifully and presented a mature and
confident performance.
A big thank you to the large contingent of supporters from Te Pahu who made plenty of noise!
So, who will it be next year up on the big stage?
In 2016, we had a new entry for Bandquest - Seven Seasons.
They worked really hard in term 3 to get their original song ready for the big day.
In 2015, Summer Souls repeated their previous year's feat of winning Best Original Song, and also picked up 'Best Lyrics' and Third Place overall! Quite an achievement for this group of special young people. They've really set the tone for music at Te Pahu School.
In 2014, two bands from Te Pahu School entered Bandquest - Summer Souls and Wha Out.
It was a great night at the Clarence Street Theatre. Our bands performed wonderfully and really did Te Pahu proud.
Finn from Wha Out won the award for Best Male Vocalist, and Summer Souls won the award for Best Original Song.
A great result, especially for a first time on the big stage for most of these younguns.
