The last week of half term saw our exciting Year 9 Battle of the Bands. All of Year 9 formed bands in their Music lessons, and one band from each class were selected to go through to the final. The grand final took place in front of a massive and enthusiastic audience - all of KS3! Classic pieces from Queen, Amy Winehouse and Coldplay were performed alongside newer songs by Beabadoobee, Zara Larsson and SZA.
Congratulations to all those who took part - it was a fantastic achievement to perform so confidently in front of a large audience and you put on an amazing show!
Particular congratulations to the joint winning bands – the 9G band (Charlotte, Isla, Caroline, Lucy and Liya) for their performance of Another One Bites the Dust by Queen, and the 9F band (Innaya, Tammy, Leia, Austeja and Athishayaa) who played Back to Black. Well done to 9G who won overall.
The event was hosted by our sixth form house captains Lydia, Norah, Athena and Nancy, and judged by our Sixth Form musicians: Amelia, Kaleb, Joseph and Maria. Well done to all 14 bands who competed to a high standard.
