Congratulations to all our pupils who attended Torbay Music Festival over the weekend. In this article we share some of the successes from pupils across the various different categories.
Andrew and Simon
Well done to brothers Andrew (Lower Fifth) and Simon (Upper Two), who both competed across a range of classes on Saturday and Sunday, performing on multiple instruments and earning an impressive collection of cups, medals and first-place awards.
Andrew achieved first place and won the cup in both the Piano from Memory Advanced and Piano Classical Under 18 classes. He also competed in two brass classes on the trombone, winning the cups for Brass/Woodwind Grade 5-6 and Brass/Woodwind Higher Own Choice.
