Marriotts School Rock Challenge

Students from Marriotts School beat off fierce competition from 11 other schools from London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northampton and Berkshire to win not only the open regional stage of the annual Rock Challenge Event held at the Gordon Craig Theatre, but to win 13 of the 14 individual awards available.

 

 

In total, 80 students were involved in every aspect of the performance including choreography, set design, make up and technical support.    This amazing collaboration saw the school take awards for:

 

Excellence for Soundtrack

Spirit of Rock Challenge

Visual Enhancement

Set design and function

Lighting

Choreography

Drama

Entertainment

Stage Crew

Performance Skill

Costuming Character

 

 

 

Rock Challenge is a global competition, sponsored by the 'Be Your Best' foundation. The charity promotes 'healthy living' for teenagers, with no use of drugs, smoking or alcohol throughout the rehearsals and performances. It also advocates attendance to school by giving students who may have become disengaged the opportunity to work towards something they enjoy and want to be in school for.

 



The students will now take their performance to Portsmouth on Friday 19th June to take part in the National Southern Region Open Final.  This is where we need your help. Marriotts School can only achieve its goal to attend the National Southern Region Open Final with the assistance of generous donations from members of our community. We have to raise approximately £2750 to pay for transport, accommodation and production fees alone, so any donations however large or small will be greatly appreciated.

As well as working hard on our own fundraising events we are seeking the assistance of generous donations from members of our community.

Thank you in advance.
