MEET SHANDY SARANTOS - OUR 2019 ALLSTAR
Shandy Sarantos is a Guitarist and Vocalist and has been at School of Rock since August 2015, which is just 3 months after we opened our doors. Shandy came to SOR as a killer funk rhythm guitarist and in her tenure with us, she has developed into a player with an array of skills. Her lead playing has blossomed with greater technical proficiency and a deeper understanding of music.

Shandy has been part of our Performance Programme since the day she entered School of Rock and has performed at alsmost every Season Show that School of Rock Claremont has produced (excluding Pink Floyd): British Invasion, Reggae Funk, Best of Season, Nothin' But the Blues, The Ultimate School of Rock Show, Best of the 80's, Gun's n Roses, Punk Rock, Foo Fighters, Mzansi Rocks, Gone But Not Forgotten, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Funk, Soul & R&B and soon our Twenty One Pilots vs Imagine Dragons Season Show.

Her greatest assets are still her ear and her natural musicality that she showed from day one. Beyond the instrument, Shandy has been the rock of the Performance Programme - while being the most experienced member, she builds friendships with new students and brings a sense of comedy to the rehearsal room that is truly priceless! She has been an integral part of building the culture of SOR Claremont.

School of Rock's AllStar Programme is the highest level of achievement for a School of Rock student. Making the programme is an honour only achieved by fewer than 1% of all SOR students worldwide. Candidates are nominated each year by their local schools to participate in a competitive audition process, including a video submission round and a live audition round, from which the AllStars are then selected.

The AllStars then tour each July/August through the States with the best musicians from our International network of schools. This is an authentic tour experience, performing in many popular live music venues and culminating in a performance at a big music festival.

We will follow Shandy's journey in July and August when she embarks on her USA Tour.
