On 31 September 2023, two of our Wembley students, Claire (Year 6) and Amelie (Year 4) participated in the before-game performance for the AFL grand final with KISS.
We started rehearsals on the Friday that school ended. In that first rehearsal, we were placed in either one of the two side pods or the front pod. The dance teacher told us that she would place us depending on our rock faces and stage presence. At the end of the rehearsal, it was revealed that we were in the front pod.
A few rehearsals later, it was performance day. All the kids were lined up in the hall under the MGC that the footy players ran out from. At the end of the song ‘Shout It Out Loud’, we started running onto the field. All 500 dancers were excited and a bit nervous. As the song ‘I Wanna Rock and Rock All Night’ came on we started the run onto the stage. (Claire and I were on the stage with KISS.) As our cue to start dancing happened we shut out the crowd and started dancing our hearts out. We flipped our hair and played the air guitar like crazy.
After the song was about to end we sprinted out of the stadium right into the busses. (They had to take the stage out from the exit we were using).
On the bus ride home, we laughed and chatted. All the kids with phones watched the game. By the time we got back to MAPA, the scores were 12 nil, Collingwood.

Hi, my name is Claire, and I performed at the MCG for the AFL grand final with KISS a rock band. Out of all the songs we did ‘Rock And Roll All Night’.
It was such a great experience for me and my sister. I feel like I learned a life lesson to never back down even tho you might be scared or nervous, even though I got nervous on the day I went for it and in my opinion I did a great job. I think that if you treasure the big and small things you do you will always remember and enjoy having the memory forever, you also might learn a lifelong lesson to always go for it and anything that you put your mind to is possible.
