Whangaparāoa College band The People were one of the 15 bands to advance to the semi-final of Stand Up Stand Out (SUSO), held on August  31 at the Concert Chamber in the Auckland Town Hall.

SUSO is a prestigious youth music and dance competition and more than 1000 participants from more than 20 secondary schools around Auckland take part in one of the five categories: Solo Vocal, Group Vocal, Solo Instrumental, Band and Dance.

Unfortunately, The People did not make it to the finals this year, but the semi-finals nevertheless provided a platform for the young band and an opportunity to be discovered, as well as valuable development opportunities and experiences as they build a career.
