Musical preparations in full swing

Grant High School students Kye Heemskerk and Joseph McMahon rehearse.

EXCITEMENT is building for Grant High School students as they prepare to perform the musical Spectrum, which was created especially for them by teachers and musical writing duo Scott Maxwell and Mike Bakker.

The production showcases the talent of around 65 students from the Mount Gambier-based high school.

Featuring colourful costumes, heavy rock music and giant puppets called kryptids, the production will be performed four times at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre on Thursday and Friday.
