\"Arbroath<\/a>These events will provide the opportunity for schools from across Dundee, Angus, Perth and Kinross to showcase their creativity, talent and imagination on the stage of The Caird Hall.

The Be Your Best Foundation, registered charity since April 1998 (registered charity number 1077291), facilitate the production and expansion of the Rock Challenge\u00ae <\/sup>and J Rock\u2122 in the UK and these Rock Challenge\u00ae events aim to inspire, engage and motivate young people to make healthy and positive lifestyle choices. Each show provides the opportunity for young people to experience an adrenalin-based high through performing live on a professional stage rather than using tobacco, alcohol or other drugs.\"Forfar<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Teams as small as 10, or as large as 135 students, collaborate with teachers, parents and wider communities to prepare an eight minute performance. These preparations are undertaken over many weeks and months and showcase an array of skills in dance, drama and design. Set to a theme of their choice each school\u2019s performance is completely original and can vary from tackling a political or social message, retelling a true event or an entirely imaginative concept. You can see more information about the event in our promotional video here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z54kjiEi8aQ<\/a><\/p>\n

To receive all the latest information on how to secure a place in the 2016 events a school can contact the Rock Challenge\u00ae and J Rock\u2122 office on 02392 985710 and be added to the mailing list.
