Music - VET Show Two

On Wednesday night, the Years Eleven and Twelve VET Music students presented their second VET Show in the Hall, along with the Hospitality Year Twelve students serving coffee and their magnificent cheese boxes. The show featured music by a wide range of artists, including Paramore, Jet, Jimi Hendrix, Grease, Stevie Wonder, Dire Straits and Pink Floyd, to name a few of the classics. The Year Eleven students were much more comfortable and confident on stage in their second show and the Year Twelve students were slick and assured in their performances. The packed Hall thoroughly enjoyed the show. Well done to all the students involved.
