Bow's Got Talent

Bow's Got Talent

July 17th saw the annual school talent show take place, but this was a show like no other. For the first time this year the format changed to include all sorts of talent, from singers to dancers to magicians and even a comedy duo.

Pupils auditioned 4 weeks ahead of the show and put in hours of rehearsals with their mentors in preparation. Each act was assigned a mentor suited to helping them progress and develop the act before the live show.

 Acts were divided into 4 categories; singers, dancers, musicians and other talents. A list of acts and their mentors can be found below:

Huge congratulations to all pupils involved, performing in front of an audience is a huge achievement, especially when that audience includes your friends.

Finally, I would like to say an especially big thank you to all the stage staff who helped keep the operation smooth and seamless on the day, this includes Ralph and Ms Clarke on lights, Miss Hanson (now Mrs Shen), Azim, Peter and Riazul backstage and Riyad on the projection and other music, and to Ms Crombie for organising them all!
