Eastbourne Festival of Arts

Our first competition of the year, February 2025, held in the Emmanuel Church, Eastbourne. It was lovely to have so many students performing. Great work Ryan in your first music festival. Leia performed in one class which she worked so hard for. Rishwy performed in three classes and had some stiff competition, but still achieved a 2nd place. Max played two very long tunes and got the audience excited with his Mission Impossible. Nabi was the youngest pianist today and performed in 5 classes, coming top in two classes. This year Jake, Helen and Stephanie came top of the woodwind ensemble class with their Suburban Blues. Helen and Stephanie went on to do a great job before Stephanie and Jake performed solos, Jake receiving a commended mark. A great day’s work everyone! I am proud of you all and all the effort everyone put in… check out those amazing performance outfits.
