The principal, Noel Dillon mentioned after the first night he could play the drums, so he joined us too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sent out another notice requesting a bass player and school parent Sean Boswell joined in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truant is a name for a school dropout, fitting for the vibe and members in the group according to Briony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe play cover songs, but I would call us more of a rock band than anything else,\u201d Briony said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe perform at all the school events and Cowrie Market, it\u2019s great fun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe band is a bit of an outlet, a night for myself and I go back home feeling energised and happy. Some people have sport or art, I have music. It\u2019s an endorphin rush and we gel so well together which makes it easy to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAge definitely doesn\u2019t matter. Often people have kids and lose themselves, becoming more serious about things. This band has helped me find myself again and become a more fun version of who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rehearsing every Tuesday night, The Truants are looking to play in more venues and share their sound on stages across the region.
