The show opened with 13 of our BTEC Level 3 Sixth Form Music students performing a 7 minute 'mash up' journey through a variety of music genre.
Our hosts, A-level Drama / Theatre students Oliver Foster and Luke Watson led us through a fantastic night of performing arts. All of the student 'acts' were brilliant and were so professional!
