Good Morning Sunners and welcome to a day worth singing and dancing about!

Today's weather is expected to be a cloudy one with a high of 13 degrees and the possibility of heavy rain falls and northwesterlies developing by evening and easing overnight.

Don't let the weather dampen your mood however, there are plenty of events to end the weekend on a good note.

Mauao Performings Art Centre students will be taking to the stage to perform all the favourites including Dolly Parton, Broadway, Sam Smith, Lorde, and Paramore at a free concert for the community.

Teacher Melissa Cox says the illustrious end of term student concerts have grown into quite the spectacle over the years.

'From humble beginnings, the crowd is now 150 strong every show, and TOTARA ST comes alive with the hottest young talent the Bay of Plenty has on offer,” says Melissa.

The first to take the stage will be the MauaoPAC Contemporary Choir, followed by the centres awesome drama and theatre students, then the music academy students.

Melissa says for some students it is the first time on stage, for others, they have been there before.

The MauaoPAC Term 2 Student concert will run from 4pm-7pm at TOTARA ST, the Mauao Performing Arts Centre's performance space.

The same space that plays host to all the national and international touring acts that grace Mount Maunganui. MauaoPAC students get the same level of production as touring acts.
