Students have been working on Stagecraft, Performance and Event Coordination units this term 

As per usual, we’ve had some awesome guest speakers come in to chat with the students. This term we had Dan Steinert from TOWNS, who are a “dynamic and unstoppable powerhouse duo” known fondly within the local and national music scene. TOWNS play a unique mix of 90s pop rock and have been performing around the country for a few years now, including support shows for many international acts as well as at BIGSOUND and SPIN OFF Festival!  

The students were also lucky enough to hear from Music SA alumni Cahli Blakers, one half of Teenage Joans! Teenage Joans are an indie pop-punk duo who play high energy songs that audiences can’t help but dance and sing along to from the get go. Their latest news is that they just won the Triple J Unearthed High Competition, which is a huge achievement and the second year in a row for South Australia! We’re so proud of Cahli and Tahlia, and extend a huge congratulations to them! Teenage Joans have been heavily involved in Girls Rock! Adelaide and supported notable acts such as Ruby Fields, The Hard Aches and Bec Stevens. They’ve also played at Laneway Festival, Day of Clarity and in 2019 they won the National Live Music Award for SA’s Best Live Act.
