On Thursday, 8th May, four members of the BSSS strings program competed at the Rockhampton Eisteddfod.  In a section of 12 competitors from both state and private schools BSSS were awarded 2nd place!  I could not be prouder of these four boys.  They had to do a lot of waiting around backstage, as the competition was running behind schedule.  However, when it was our time to perform, the boys really put on a show!  Their piece was titled “Cowboy Lane”, hence the cowboy hats.

The boys performed from memory, meaning they had no music in front of them, and they played without a conductor!  They were the only group to do this. 

Thank you to parents/grandparents/friends who provided transport to and from the theatre and stayed to watch the performance.  Your support is greatly appreciated and absolutely contributed to this fine result.

Congratulations Cowboys!  I’m very proud of your hard work in preparing for this competition and for this incredible achievement.
