The standard was so high that the judges decided to award a ‘Rising Stars’ prize to Voice n Strings (Sophie and Leila) and a ‘Most Impressive Instrumentalist’ prize to bassist Eva.

The competition was adjudicated by Year 11 students Will and Stanley, Ms. Wadley, Mr. Archer and Mr. Houghton. Each band’s performance was filmed and will be posted to the music department’s YouTube channel at a later date.

Head of Music Emma Burlinson said: “Well done to the Antic Aces who clearly have a huge talent. There was a brilliant mix of bands with some terrific performances.”
