The children felt like they were "in the moment" when stories were told. They thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for the various acting parts. It was a fun, humorous performance and the costumes and props were superb. Thank-you for giving the grade 5's such a memorable show..

The performance was so very realistic that you couldn't say that it was enjoyable or entertaining. It was informative, sensitive and had the perfect mix of drama and historically accurate information to keep the students fully engaged from beginning to end.
The Audience"I loved the realistic gun shots and machine gun fire." Coby, aged 11 "Crawling through the trench was awesome! But I wouldn't like to do it again." Jaiden, aged 8 "The nurse made me cry." Chloe, aged 12 "I was scared at first but then I was happy to be a soldier on stage with my friends. I didn't want the Sergeant Major to yell at me but I knew he had to, it was part of the show." Zac, aged 8 "It was a great show and now I know a lot more about what the war was really like. I hope there are no more wars." Jozzlen, aged 111

Fabulous to include a wide range of students in the performance
The AudienceAwesome show, really helped us understand the Anzac story
I was unaware that this show involved student 'actors', and therefore had preparation to be completed before the event, until 5 weeks before the show. In the last 3 weeks of those 5 weeks we had school holidays for 2 weeks and then 1 week of school camp. This meant we had 2 weeks to prepare our students. As you may or may not be aware, it is ridiculously difficult to get students to participate in performance activities when they do not know exactly what they need to do. I understand the desire to keep everything a suprise, so they could fully experience the event, which was amazing in the end, but it made it very difficult in the time frame given to find willing participants and then to have them practice lines. The show was fantastic and the students loved it, but there was too much stress in the weeks leading up to it.
The Show and EventThe student participation was the best part. It was engaging for both the stidents on stage and in the audience, and it allowed for more serious moments (to get the message across) as the audience was already engaged.

I just needed more information at the time of booking about what was expected of us in preparation for this show (all up we needed to find 69 students to be willing to get up on stage and speak without knowing what they would actually be required to do, and we only had 2 weeks to get them on board). As this was commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, the school felt it possible to pay $12.75 per student for this event. We had to fundraise, a lot, for this event to happen. This was the best show we have had tour for the wntire school.

Some characters could not be heard. Loved the humour of the characters. Characters helped the kids get into characters.
Review the booking process and Iconic Performances.The show was great. The actors wonderful.

The concept of involving some of the students as nurses, soldiers and stretcher bearers was great. The actors made the students' roles very easy with their "pre-show" rehearsal. The multi media presentation entertained all students and kept them engaged throughout the performance.
The AudienceThe entry through the trench was really effective for most students and the "safe door" was a great alternative for those not comfortable with the dark. The amount of "smoke" generated in the hall did impact on some children as they were distracted by trying to clear their vision. While the sound level was very loud (and probably more so due to the inside environs), it certainly gave a realistic portrayal of the times. Students had much to offer in the follow-up class discussions and had a better understanding of what it must have been like at Gallipoli.

Was well done which allowed our students to reflect on the lessons in class.
The Show and EventI didn't expect the amount of audience interaction. The students thought the tunnel was a very exciting part of the show.
The AudienceFor a country school, our students don't get to experience these types of shows. Thank you for a great school experie
Review the booking process and Iconic Performances.Kids absolutely loved it
