In June, students took part in the College’s inaugural Music and Performing Arts Pathways Competition, gaining valuable experience of performing in a professional audition-style setting.
Students showcased a range of talents, including music, dance, acting and musical theatre, before an expert judging panel comprising Tom Hughes (Dragonfly Music Studios), Katie Smith (festival and venue programmer), Lauren Haigh-Mason (Make Believe Wimbledon), and performer and actor Laura Piggott. Each student also received individual feedback to help develop their audition skills.
Prize Winners
- 1st Place: Ida Smith and Toby Ma (Piano and Vocal Duet)
- 2nd Place: Evie Kruszynski-Blight (Dance)
- 3rd Place: Scarlett Matthews and Dan Simmons (Piano and Vocal Duet)
- Music Festival Commendation Prize: The Century Band (Oliver Blogg, Jacob Ratnam, Ash Elliott and Charlie Hunt)
Special recognition for outstanding acting performances was awarded to James Westgarth, Leo Grayling, Kieran Jones and Austin Robson.
Congratulations to everyone who took part and helped make the competition a resounding success!
