At College This Month

AMERICAN IDIOT

 As I am sure many of you are aware we are working hard at our production of American Idiot this year! All of the SSA departments are collaborating to put our own stamp on the wonderful all singing, all-dancing and highly acclaimed Broadway show based on punk-rock band Green Day’s concept album of the same title and co-wrote by Billie Joe Armstrong himself. Students and teachers alike have been hard away working on it including music tutor John Pattison (or JP) who runs the local Beach Hut Theatre company and has also helped transpose the sheet music for various instrumentation. The plot centres on three men – Johnny, Willy and Tunny – and their attempt to flee their stifling suburban lifestyle and parental restrictions.
 Our version will be performed from the 5th to the 9th of December this year.

GIG 1

 It’s the music department’s first gig of the academic year – landing perfectly on Halloween! Students all levels (2, 3 & 4) will be performing both covers and original material. Everyone is welcome from 6.45 onwards, and if you come in fancy dress you can gain free entry! Come down for a spooktacular night – and who knows just what might happen? Trick - or Treat? (but don’t forget to brush your teeth when you get home guys J)
