SUSO Success for Music Acts

On Wednesday 3 and Friday 5 August we had two small groups of students perform in Stand Up Stand Out, an Auckland wide high school music competition. Despite the small delegation of just two entries on each day all the Pakuranga College performers stood out to the judges.

On Wednesday one of our two performers, Ava Purvis, impressed the judges enough to make the semi-finals event at Aotea Centre on Saturday 3 September with 30 other performers from 180 in total.

On Friday our two duet performers competing in the group category up against the likes of choirs and barbershop ensembles also impressed, with Ingrid Ioka and Jessica Sayer reaching the finals on Saturday 24 September at the Town Hall. Congratulations to our semi-finalists and finalists!
