More snaps of our youth performing at our very own festival 🐠

Phoenix YoungStars lit up the night, quite literally 🤣 while Violette sang beautifully at her band’s acoustic set (my personal fave sound - highlighting vocal AND guitar intricacies)

Student Spotlight 🎉

For those who remember Finn lighting up the stage as Bobby Strong in our mini musical, you will not be surprised to hear this next piece of news… Finn recently undertook an audition opportunity (his first time!) after preparing in private vocal sessions - and walked away with a role as a chorus member in Oliver! with the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company. What a brilliant first leap into the wider theatre world!

Finn has always had strong character commitment with a slightly cheeky spark that makes him so watchable, and we have a feeling he’ll be asking for “more!” in all the best ways. Keep sharing your spark, and sweet vocal tone, Finn. While we miss you, we know you’ll be having a ball. Truly - what a show for you, congratulations.

LOVING this new opportunity 💎

Why? Because it differs from previous competitions and now aligns with our values:

Sing It Out Loud is a vocal competition designed to celebrate singers of all ages and levels in a supportive, professionally run environment.

Our focus is on confidence, growth, constructive feedback, and creating a positive performance experience for every performer who steps on stage.

I’d be delighted to help vocal students prepare 🎵

Kudos to for inspiring the next generation 👏🏻

This festival isn’t just local / regional - it creates genuinely professional, creatively driven opportunities for young people to step up and shine.

Give them a theme and permission to create & they absolutely rise to the occasion. Total commitment to character … those jellyfish twins… did you see them jiggle the entire time?! 🪼✨

FLASHBACK to the last Open St Festival in November '24

where YoungStars made their roving performance debut, later transforming into backstreet bandits at Laneway Festival, Kempsey and Jazz Cats at Jazz Festival, Bellingen. Now, they return to their debut festival with a re-imagined work inspired by our oceans, rivers, and community.

I can't stress enough that this season’s Roving Act is deeply collaborative, with costumes and visual elements co-created across recent community arts programs, and in the homes of the artists - a true community effort. Thanks to all involved - we can't wait.

THIS WEEKEND 14th Feb 2-8pm Macksville
