Convenor for Children and Learning at Angus Council- Councillor Sheena Welsh said:“I thought it was an excellent show. I’ve seen lot of Rock Challenges and they just get better and better every year. They’re so professional and they work so well together as teams and I think that’s really really important. They’re learning skills, not just about dancing and performance, but skills that are going to help them when they go out into the real world and are looking for jobs and employment. They’ve got something really important to contribute as a result of what they’ve done here.”
Police Scotland, Superintendent Suzie Mertes said: “Another absolutely fantastic evening, it was brilliant! All of the concepts were great, the young people have worked so hard. They were so entertaining, told great messages and we just had a blast!”
