Last night IV II VI (4-2-6) performed at the first heat of YouthRock 2009 at the Sutherland Entertainment Centre. They were well supported by a large number of students from our school who attended. Whilst they just missed out on qualifying for the final, they did our school proud, performing their four original compositions with great skill. The band recieved some fantastic feedback from the judges at the event and we are certain they are destined for big things!
