Mount Evelyn students hit the big stage

Students from the Mount Evelyn region will be amoungst 3000 performers in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular (VSSS) this year.

The Spectacular will see students come together from more than 200 government schools across the state and perform in front of about 12,000 people.

It was also be broadcast on Network Seven later this year.

Mount Evelyn Primary School grade six student Sasha said she feels privileged to be involved in such a big event.

“I decided to get involved because singing has been something I have really wanted to

improve,” she said.

“It means a lot to me because not many people get to be part of such a great experience.

“I am looking forward to seeing great performers and doing it with other schools.”

The theme for this year’s spectacular is Made of Stars. It will feature an 80-piece orchestra performing well-known songs from the past few decades.

For the first time ever, the spectacular will also meet the X Games at Melbourne Arena, showcasing BMX riders, skaters and scooter riders.

The VSSS first hit the stage in 1995 and has since been helping students get hands-on training and mentoring both on stage and behind the scenes.

The Spectacular will take place at Melbourne Arena on 14 September with two shows at 1pm and 6.30pm.
