Students in the Performing Arts Academy took to the stage at the end of February for their performance of Disney’s High School Musical. The performances evidenced the hard work and dedication of students who have been attending the four different sessions that exist within the Performing Arts Academy; Light and Sound, Rockademy, Stage & Set Design and Drama.

Students who attend the different sessions have been meeting every Thursday after school in order to put the performance together. Students created everything for the show including the sound and lighting, live band, costumes and props and it was easy to see the high levels of talent that the students possess.

This is the debut year for the Performing Arts Academy and, with over 100 students being involved so far, it is clear that it will continue to be successful for many years to come.

Aycliffe Radio were in attendance on the final night and interviewed the cast afterwards. This session will be broadcast on Sunday 12th April (Easter Sunday) at 7.30pm.
