bandquest

Rockshop Bandquest is Aoteaora’s live music event for Primary and Intermediate aged school students. The programme annually hosts hundreds of young bands in venues throughout the country.

John McGlashan College has had a lot of success in this competition in previous years, with 'State of Me' taking out 1st place in 2020, and 'Captivated' taking out 3rd place in both 2021 and 2022. Often students that perform in Bandquest go on to succeed in Rockquest, such as our group 'Sùechef' who reached the Rockquest national top 20 in 2022.

For Dunedin in 2023, the Bandquest competition is taking place on September 2nd at Taieri College. Have a chat with Mr. McNulty, get practicing with your band, then use the sign-up form below to confirm your entry.

You can watch videos of JMC entries from previous years through the playlist on the right.
