On Saturday 18th May Central Hawke’s Bay College submitted an entry into the Smokefree Rockquest 2024 Competition held at Napier Boy’s High School with our school rock band ‘Rocker Me Crazy'.  With members Jake Edwards (Lead Guitar), Hamish James (Bass Guitar), Hezekiah Schaumkel (Lead Vocals), Logan Gray (Drums), Aidan Thomas (Rhythm Guitar) and Linc Taylor (Rhythm Guitar) they performed an original composition by Jake Edwards, with help from Hamish and Hezekiah, called ‘Start of The New Beginning.’  The competition was fierce with numerous bands competing from many high schools in Hawke’s Bay but Rocker Me Crazy had the crowd cheering.

The following Monday, Rocker Me Crazy discovered they had made the regional finals. 

On Saturday 22nd June they will perform two of their own songs at the Toitoi Hawke's Bay Arts and Events Centre in Hastings. Tickets will be available closer to the date; $25 per adult and $15 per student.  For more information about the event, visit www.sfrq.co.nz Good luck!
