Band Rocks Huntingfield!
Article by Simon MacFarlane
On Thursday, April 14th, the St Aloysius Rock Band performed two shows. The performance was enjoyed by many and was a perfect example of the music scene here at St Aloysius.
The first performance was to Charity during their House Assembly. The band played a fantastic cover of Metallica’s Seek and Destroy, a piece which they had been practising for a term previously. Overall, the song was received well, much to the delight of the band.
Seeing as the first performance was to a selected audience, the band was able to play for the passing students during recess. The set started with Seek and Destroy, followed by Enter Sandman, and then Seek and Destroy again. This performance also went down well, with a small crowd gathering to listen to what was described as ‘high-quality’ and ‘professional’.
The St Aloysius Rock Band is comprised of Sebastian Sabol (vocals and guitar), Bryn Parker (vocals and bass guitar), Owen Gordon-Smith (guitar), and Simon MacFarlane (drums). The current line-up has been together for a little over half a year now, and this was their first series of performances. They really appreciated being able to finally perform as previous restrictions due to COVID on musical performances and assemblies have eased. Each member got a lot out of the shows and they look forward to seeing you at their later performances throughout the year.
Simon has also mixed and mastered a recording of the Rock Band, which is available for anyone to listen to here!
