PCYC’s ‘Amped Up’ Brings High Energy To Bowen

PCYC Bowen had a great turnout for a series of unforgettable performances

Bowen PCYC held an event for its Amped Up Youth Music Initiative on April 17th, where the community came together to celebrate their young members’ musical talent.  

Amped Up Youth Music Initiative is a platform for young people to share music, receive mentoring and develop valuable performance experience.  

“There was a strong turnout of performers and spectators with an electric atmosphere than ran through the entire afternoon,” said a PCYC spokesperson.  

The event was not short of highlights.  

Believe Studio Whitsundays – a local performing arts studio – kicked things off with a powerful performance of ‘Ex-Wives’ from Six the Musical.  

Max performed iconic contemporary track ‘Beautiful Things’ by Benson Boone for the first time, performing with great emotion and intensity.  

The band Heavy Weight Banana Leaf performed a Nirvana-inspired set as part of their debut gig.  

Next up, the Krusaderz kept the momentum going with a stream of classic rock hits.  

Finally, the group Sugar N Spice closed the show.  

“Amped Up Youth Music Intiative absolutely rocked PCYC Bowen, wrapping up Youth Week with heart, talent and a whole lot of noise,” said PCYC Bowen Club Manager Paul Ellis.
