It was a competition. Radio presenters Hamish and Andy put a call out for their band, Cool Boys and the Frontman to play at five different Year 10 events on a weeklong tour. When I heard, ‘Call if you have an event on Monday 28 November’ on the radio, I called up. Little did I know that Wodonga would be the first stop of their rock bus… at my school, the Catholic College Wodonga Year 10 Formal. The words of student Alexia (Lexi) Brown, we’ll also hear from teacher Rachel Franklin and principal Darren Hovey. In reverse chronological order, see how this formal of all formals became one of Wodonga’s most memorable nights.
