Mariana Vazquez & Fairvale High School @ Jesterfest 2010

Congratulations to Mariana Vazquez and her band from Fairvale High School who participated in annual high school band competition - Jesterfest 2010. Jesterfest was started by the Erik Harsoul Sarcoma Foundation which is in commemoration of Erik Harsoul a young teenage boy who passed away in November 2008 from Ostea Sarcoma. Erik's parents started the foundation as a way of bringing teenagers and their parents together to raise awareness about sarcomas. JesterFest is Australia's first cancer awareness campaign aimed specifically at reducing the number of sarcoma related teenage deaths that occurs annually in our country

Congratulations to all involved for participating in such a great event.
