Let it rock baby!

Commonweal School rocked last week ( March 16th) when seven bands competed in the school's Battle of the Bands. Compere was Amber Phillips.

The evening saw over 30 students from across the year groups (11- 15 year olds) play original and cover songs in order to enhance the students performance skills and raise £200 for the Red Cross' work in the third world.

The concert was a sell out and the young people had a brilliant time. Commented Josie Williams, the school's Community Arts Development Officer, " The standards were high and judging by myself and teachers Mr. Coward and Mrs. Smith was not an easy task. The bands rehearsed at sessions after school and techniques were delivered by our satellite partners Swindon Rock School."

The winners were The 10 - 4's who shook the house down with a mean version of The Ramones song, Blitzkrieg.
