Young Auckland musicians called to take the stage

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Budding young musicians are invited to register for a forthcoming secondary school music showcase.

Singers, vocal groups, instrumentalists, bands and dancers can take the stage for Auckland Council's secondary school contest for talent across the city.

Young performers have until June 13 to register for Stand Up Stand Out 2021, also known as SUSO.

Councillor Alf Filipaina, chair of the parks, arts, community and events committee, said SUSO provided a creative outlet for young people.

“Our future musicians get the chance to interact and rub shoulders from leaders in the music industry," Filipaina said.

“Watching these talented youngsters step up onto a stage and perform in front of an audience is a real thrill.”

More than 1300 up and coming artists from more than 50 schools have competed in the event.

These include students from Kaipara College in nor-west Auckland.

Heats kick off in August across three hubs- the Ōtara Music Arts Centre, Glen Innes’ Te Oro and the Roskill Youth Zone.

Semifinals will be held at Māngere Arts Centre, Ngā Tohu o Uenuku, on September 4 with the final held for the first time at Auckland's Town Hall on September 25.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Careful what you chew!

CMDental Ltd

A recent case , at CM Dental on Lincoln Road,
The patient tragically fractured their upper premolar chewing. yes that's possible so don't crunch bones, beer bottles etc. with your teeth!!! Be careful with the holiday fare and New Year Festive Turkey Drumsticks on the barbecue.
We saved this one sometimes we can't
We first isolated the tooth from his mouth and the salivary bacteria with a temporary filling, applied a rubber dam and root filled the tooth.
We then preserving as much tooth tissue as possible prepared the tooth for a crown and later cemented this in place giving a beautiful cosmetic result. cmdental.co.nz...
