Con Students Rock to Get 'Chess' Rolling 

Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music students will form a rock band to ensure a live sound for their first big production of 2002 - Chess the Concert.

Musical director Judith Brown said students enrolled in the contemporary strand of the Bachelor of Music/Performing Arts course will perform the rock-based accompaniment to the show, with all Music Theatre students involved in the performance.

"The five-piece rock ensemble will add a real depth and colour the score, which features hits such as 'One Night In Bangkok' and 'I Know Him So Well'," she said.
