Students made their way to GPAC to watch the amazing Scott Bradlee’s Post-Modern Jukebox. They are the masters when it comes to reimagining songs and making it their own. By utilising elements of music and compositional devices, they were able to create something truly magical for our students to watch. They met one of the singers from the band who gave some fantastic advice on practise and performance. This will be extremely helpful for their SACs and external exams at the end of the year.

“I really loved the Post-Modern Jukebox performance, and it was really interesting to see all of the different songs reimagined in this genre of jazz/swing music. I also really loved how they got the audience involved a lot, you could really see their showmanship and how they'd been working on it for a long time and I feel that it really showed in the way they performed and worked together as an ensemble. I believe that watching this was super beneficial to my own studies as this is the sort of genre I'm leaning towards in my study of vocals and music in general. Its also beneficial for me in the way of how I am looking to recontextualizing a piece for my set list in my exam, and it was good for me to be able to see the sheer number of opportunities in this realm of reimagining. It was quite funny to see the tap-dancing mash up they did, it was really interesting to see how recognisable the songs still were without the singing and a change of genre.” – Mia Davis – Year 12 Music Student
