Pulse+09

The results for individual prizes: We also had these students in the top 3 for their instrument and band: Keeha Oh (Keyboard), Logan Anderson (Guitar), Edward Fantham (Bass), and “Personality” for “Most Creative Act”. The individual achievements were excellent and you all should be very proud of yourselves. Lastly the winners were announced: As you can see we “scooped the pool” and were so excited and proud of our achievements. Congratulations everyone for outstanding performances, and all your commitment and practicing. Special thanks to Jordan Holliday for organising the printing of the Personality T-Shirts and Mrs Halgryn for decorating the black ties.
 * PULSE 09 Rock Band Competition**: What a night – 20 bands on stage from Hamilton and Waikato Intermediate Schools. “Downloaded” was the first band to perform for the night and played really well. They looked and sounded as if they really enjoyed themselves. It’s a difficult call being first as the sound technicians take a few bands to get the sound correct and sounding full. “Personality” were out the back praciting their song, getting warmed up to hit the stage about half way through the evening. They came out on stage and sounded excellent with harmonies and strong vocals coming through. Kaleb really rapped strongly, and the song was a great contrast to the other bands’ song choices.
