Form 4 Student and Theatre Monitor, Rebecca Manners-Wood, earned herself a back-stage pass to the #RoyalRockShow held at the Royal Show in PMB. Rebecca was invited to attend the weekends' productions whilst job shadowing Mr Brian McFall, AV & Theatre Technology Manager at St Anne's, as he mixed 64 microphones working as the Sound Engineer for the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra on Sunday morning. She was exposed to some of the best lighting and sound engineers in the business and spent a very valuable two hours training under the Lighting Engineer for Prime Circle.
An added bonus was that she got to meet some of SA's hottest talent including band members from Prime Circle, Gangs of Ballet and Watershed to name a few. So eager to learn and such an impression Becca made that supplier of technical personnel and equipment for the event, Big Beat Productions MD, Kevin Liddell, commented that he would "offer her a job tomorrow".
