Five locals are doing more than most to drum up support for Cricket World Cup matches being played on Napier’s McLean Park.
Tom Pierard, the programme coordinator of EIT’s Certificate in Contemporary Music Performance, recommended drummers to perform on the weekend, and he even performed himself!
Two of the drummers are graduates of ideaschool’s one-year certificate programme, Dom Ngapera and last year’s top student Brad Gamble. And another two are graduates of EIT’s Bachelor of Computing Systems, Malcolm Blake and Chris Smith.
They’ve already performed at the last two matches, and will perform again for the last Napier game, this Sunday.
Imagine playing before a capacity crowd of 21,000 people all keyed up to watch an international match. What a great experience for EIT graduates!
