Students from Sandown Bay Academy are celebrating after finishing third in the 2017 Rock Challenge Southern Premier Final, which took place at the Portsmouth Guildhall last night (Saturday).
The Island school went up against students from across Hampshire, West Sussex, Dorset, Buckinghamshire and London, as well as fellow Islanders Ryde Academy.
Sandown’s performance of ‘Perilous Harbour’ impressed the judges so much that not only did they take a podium place, but were presented with Awards of Excellence for Choreography, Performance Skill, Stage Use, Concept, Soundtrack and Entertainment.
Although they missed out on a top spot, Ryde Academy’s performance was recognised with Awards of Excellence for Performance Skill, Concept, Lighting, Stage Crew and Video Performance.
