Anyone interested in joining a proposed Music Festival via VideoConference? March 7, 2007

Gary Hodges, a good friend and colleague was buzzing today. His Year 9 Business class has been putting together a real life project revolving around the Music industry and they are in the process of organising a Music Festival at school. As part of the day’s activities, his students will raise money which will be donated to one of the school’s main charities (Cambodian Housing Project).
He was likening the activity to Band-Aid, the Bob Geldof inspired charity work where musicians gave their time freely to raise money for Ethiopia’s starving. Definitely not in the same league, but a start. He then had the thought:
Wouldn’t it be great if we could telecast it?
So, is there anyone out there who would like to beam in via VideoConference (using http protocols) and take a look at the Year 9 Business Studies class and their attempt to raise money? It won’t be high tech, modern concert gimmicks, but a chance for some local talent to strut their stuff in front of the school community and perhaps, nationally or internationally.
If you can’t participate, but think it is a good idea, can you please send a message of support so the students get an idea of what they could do in the future. Perhaps even link this to your site for wider exposure.
This all depends of course on our IT technicians having the VideoConference equipment set up correctly (something I’ve been asking them to do for over a year and it still isn’t quite right). A lot of whatifs and maybes, but the idea and potential really excite me. Exact details to be confirmed – I think Friday March 16, midday-ish (Melbourne, Australia time).
Thanks
