🎀 MORANBAH... WHO'S HIDING A FUTURE ROCKSTAR IN THEIR HOME?? 🎸

You know the one...

The young person constantly singing around the house.

The kid who never puts their guitar down.

The teenager writing songs nobody else has heard.

The one who dreams about performing but is too nervous to take that first step.

THIS IS YOUR SIGN. 🎢

Amped Up Youth Music Initiative is coming to Moranbah for the very first time and we'd love to meet the next generation of local performers.

πŸ“… Saturday 25th July
⏰ 12pm - 4pm
πŸ“ Moranbah Arts Centre

Calling all:

🎢 Music Teachers
🎢 School Music Programs
🎢 Performing Arts Centres
🎢 Solo Artists
🎢 Bands
🎢 First Time Performers
🎢 Young People Who Have Never Touched A Stage Before

At Amped Up, we don't care if you've performed 100 times or zero times.

We care that you have a go.

We've watched shy young people find confidence.

We've watched bedroom singers become regular performers.

We've watched friendships form, opportunities arise, and young people discover what they're capable of when someone simply encourages them to have a go!

πŸ’₯ We supply the sound equipment.
πŸ’₯ We create a supportive environment.
πŸ’₯ We cheer for every performer.

You just need to bring your instrument (if required... such as your own guitar however we can set you up with one on the day if you don't have one), your courage, and a fun attitude.

And the best part?

πŸ†“ IT'S COMPLETELY FREE!

So Moranbah... let's do this.

Tag a young musician.
Tag a music teacher.
Tag a parent.
Tag someone who needs a little push to step onto a stage for the very first time.

Because every confident performer started with one brave moment.

🎢 Music is Medicine 🎢

Congratulations Booyah Rockhampton for supporting these young ladies making positive life choices! 🎊

Project Booyah Mackay will see 8 young ladies graduate from the program on the 24th of June.

These young ladies have shown resilience, strength and dedication to achieve great results throughout the program. The cohort will graduate with qualifications such as First Aid/CPR, White Card, RSA, Bridge Award and Teen Mental Health First Aid.

Our team is excited to watch these young ladies thrive into adulthood with the confidence and self-worth they have gained throughout their time in Booyah. The team will continue to support the graduates for the next 18 months with any employment, education, sporting or training opportunities that come their way.

Please get behind your local Project Booyah Programs throughout the state... Real people... Real results!

Having been involved with Project Booyah Mackay for a number of years and now working in this role has been amazing, witnessing first hand the transformation of the young people we work with. I love when I run into a past participant and they excitedly fill me in on what's happening in their world now... so proud.
