Congratulations Forbes Performance team

The Forbes performance team had their stage debut at the Dubbo eisteddfod last Saturday. The girls dance extremely well and i was so proud of them! Such professionals already and this was their 1st Eisteddfod! The girls competed in the under 12s modern and Jazz sections and received 3rd for their amazing effort in the Jazz, the modern was also very beautiful. I got teary both times the girls danced, i can't believe it was their 1st eisteddfod.

Great work girls you should be extremely proud of yourselves! Keep up the hard work!

The girls next stage performance will be Forbes eisteddfod on the 26th of July!
Come along and show your support!

Performance team Dubbo stage rehearsal.

Hi everyone,

Forbes Perfomance team WILL be perfoming in Dubbo Eisteddfod on Saturday the 13th of June! (A note with times and hair and make up requirements will be issued soon)

There will be a stage rehearsal in Dubbo this coming Sunday 1pm untill 2pm at Wesley hall(Wesley hall is behind the Civic centre). I am so sorry about the late notice but the venue only confirmed today.

I think it is important that the girls have a practice on a decent size stage, especially seeing that this is their 1st Eisteddfod ever.
I have emailed most of you and if i didn't have your email i have asked other parents to pass on the infomation.
Peformance on Saturday will again go for an extra 45 min.

If you have any concerns please email me: etrudg01@postoffice.csu.edu.au

Thank you for all your support!

Congratulations Zac. We will definitely miss your smiling face on Saturdays! Zac will still be with us for the rest of the year and then he will be off the the big smoke to start his dance career! So make sure you keep an eye out for him in the end of year concert!
