Battle of the School Bands

This exciting annual event sees young people from years 7 to 11 represent their school by competing to win £1000 for their band and £500 for their school. The bands perform three contemporary songs in front of family, friends and a panel of judges. These performances are the culmination of months of hard work and practice, supported by one of our band mentors.
