STORIES of evil scored Emerald Secondary College students fourth place in the premier division of the 2009 Rock Eisteddfod Challenge.
Pakenham Secondary College students also competed in the grand-final, which saw a total of 12 schools rock Melbourne’s Hisense Arena on 18 September.
Emerald College’s performance, Wanted: Creator of Chaos, followed the devil as she searched for a new apprentice.
Audiences were enthralled as the story followed the evil goddess as she interviewed various characters vying for the position from gremlins to mummies, zombies and evil angels.
But in a twist no one saw coming, good triumphed over evil.
Principal Wayne Burgess said although the students were disappointed with fourth place, it was a brilliant effort.
“I am really pleased with how we went and I know the students would have liked to rank higher but I thought it was fantastic,” he said.
Emerald College also took out the gong for the Best Costumes.
“I wasn’t surprised, these our costumes were magnificent,” he said
“I thought they were the best on night and they should be proud of what they achieved among some very strong competition.”
Pakenham Secondary College students catapulted themselves into the grand final last month. They won their place for their performance of the legend of Taiga, a story about an ancient forest in Russia with mythical creatures called Leshiyes.
