Jason Gunn comes to Gilby

Te Ropu Ngakaunui and Te Ropu Maia have been learning the song My Hometown by Jason Gunn for assembly. We thought we would contact Jason and see if he wanted to come down and watch our performance. Unfortunately he was at the vigil at Hagley Park the same time assembly was on! This was ok though because he sent us a video to share at assembly instead.. click on the pic below for a link to our special video.


Jason came and visited us at school on Tuesday Morning. He walked in the door and said "Can I ask you a silly question? Would you guys like to be on the radio??!" 
We performed our song and it was recorded to be put on More FM later that day. We did a fantastic job and brought Jason close to tears. He was with us for 45 minutes and talked to us all about what we want to be when we grow up. We had such a great time, what a cool guys!

We loved hearing ourselves on the radio, thanks for coming Jason!
