Rock Challenge - Pupils

By Stephanie Watters and Jessica Willis

Pirate Dancers

Yet again pupils from the Girls Model participated in this drug free event, successfully led by Miss Willis, Mrs Graham, Mrs Willis, Mrs Dalzell, Deborah Maguire (Choreographer) and Miss Smith.  This involved the pupils giving their all in an 8 minute performance in the Waterfront Hall. This year it was held on Tuesday 3rd April and the theme was ‘Together as one’.  We started rehearsing around November and everyone gave their best in rehearsals (most of the time!).

Over 90 pupils from Junior and Senior school participated in this enjoyable event.  All the girls gave 100% on the night and this hard work was reflected in the many awards which we received.  These included:

OVERALL 1st PLACE…;…;…;…;…;…;…;…;..

And another 8 Awards including:
Best choreography
Best drama skills
Best costume award
Most entertaining performance
Most original concept
Best video performance
Performer’s choice award
Best stage crew

The pupils are now eagerly awaiting to compete in the final in Grimsby, England on the 25th May 2007. We would like to express our gratitude to all of the Staff involved and we would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved and good luck for the final!
