Who We Are

Who We Are is a short documentary produced by the Year 10 class at the Tara Shire State College in conjunction with the recording of the yet to be titled album through Creative Music Workshops.

This is a project very close to Josh's heart as reflected in the following statement:

"I wanted to share with you all a wonderful short documentary produced by the Grade 10's at Tara State College about the writing and recording project we are undertaking this year. I won't elaborate as I feel this homespun gem speaks volumes.....Go the Panthers!!"

This project is being produced to celebrate the centenary of the Tara Shire State College. For further details regarding the centenary celebrations refer to the Tara Shire State College and click on the Centenary link.
