The pair were just two of a number performers from around the Riverina gathered at the Griffith for a monumental showcase.
KROP (Kids Rapt On Performing) combines the talents of 395 students from 17 different schools into one performance.
Caitlin Lane and Alex Kelly used KROP as their chance to express their creativity. Both also dance outside of school.
“We’re performing Alice in Wonderland. We have three different groups, the Alice’s, the hatters and the queens. We have a few different songs and have choreographed to suit each group,” Alex said.
Caitlin agreed it was important for everyone in their group to have their chance to shine.

Griffith Public School’s John Samuelu Kirby loved the chance to take to the stage. The year six student and his school choir were singing This is Me from the musical smash-hit The Greatest Showman.

“We were all very excited because it’s our first time as a choir that we get to perform.
This year’s KROP of students were also joined by a special guest in the form of Voice Australia star Ben Sekali, who join
