Latest update
To the Front Te Papaioea 30 October 2023
To The Front Te Papaioea is over for
another year and we had a fantastic time!
For 2023, we continued our partnership with The Stomach, holding the programme at their venue, and allowing us to access their state of the art practice studios and equipment.
Some feedback from our youth participants:
“I got to learn important social skills and how to communicate more easily with people.”
Their favourite part of band practice was...
“Matching everyone’s vibe and creating together” “Being able to get to know each other and make music together”
They liked the showcase because...
“It gave me an opportunity to expand my prior knowledge in music production and expanded my social environment.”
