Year 2 Diploma students take to stage at Rugby World Cup Fanzone!
Our Year 2 Diploma students took to the stage at the Rugby World Cup Fanzone!
Our Year 2 Diploma students took to the stage at the RWC2015 Exeter Fanzone yesterday as part of the School’s Mini-Fest to welcome the Web Ellis Cup to Exeter.
The bands and singer-songwriters helped to build up the excitement before the match kicked off at Exeter’s Sandy Park Stadium. Students from local schools and colleges took part and we all had a great day watching each others’ performances on the huge stage!
Our new 1st Year students also came along to support and to experience the staging of an event of this scale and to see the 15×15 metre stage that they will be performing on at The Fanzone on Sunday 18th October at 12pm.
”I would just like to say thank you for getting us the opportunity to play at the fanzone today. It was a wonderful experience that will benefit and prepare me if I ever play on a big stage again in the future. I will never forget this!” – Danielle, Yr 2 Diploma in Music student.
