GrandWest, Planet Productions and The Foschini Group’s ClubX Magazine invites all those budding musicians, singers and performers to the Backstage Pass “HIGH SCHOOL JAM” competition on Saturday 24 August 2013 for semi-finals and Sunday, 25 August 2013 for the finals.

The competition, which is open to the entire Western Cape province, encourages high schools to compete through music, dance and other performances while they gain exposure in the entertainment industry. The idea behind the competition is to provide interactive learning experiences for all the students involved.

Ten high schools have been chosen to compete on Saturday, 24 August 2013 and from there, three schools will be chosen to compete in the finale on Sunday, 25 August 2013. The winning school stands a chance to win R30 000, with the two runner-up high schools each winning R10 000 and the Spirit Award winning school will stand a chance to walk away with R10 000, all these prizes are sponsored by The Foschini Group’s (TFG) ClubX Magazine.

The individual prizes will also be awarded to solo and group performers across all ten schools. The High School Jam 2013 competition sponsors are Planet Productions, GrandWest, The Foschini Group’s (TFG) ClubX Magazine, Marshall Music and Yamaha Music, KFC, Cape Community Newspapers and Good Hope FM.

The success of 2012 High School Jam saw 1200 school musicians and performers participating, performing to a semi-final and final audience of 10 000. Last year’s winners were Settlers High School, among the participants were the Zola Business School who were the 2011 beneficiaries with Chris Hani High School the 2012 beneficiaries and will also be taking part in this year’s competition.

Audiences can look forward to uplifting vocals, creative costumes and a thoroughly entertaining show. Tickets can be purchased at the door for R30, or via Karen Burt at karen@planetproductions.co.za . All the proceeds from the “Final” will be donated to a disadvantaged school for the development and encouragement of music.
