On Saturday 10th March, Warblington School hosted the Portsmouth Music Festival Rock & Pop section. It was a fantastic day that saw 15 local music acts perform in our school with friends and family watching!

Students each had a time slot to perform and then were awarded feedback from the adjudicator Ben Whyntie, a professional musician who also runs a recording studio. The feedback Warblington students received for their performances was really valuable and a lot of positive comments were made towards each of our individual performers.

Some students impressed the adjudicator so much they were awarded with the following trophies:

Sky Duffy 9D – John Gleadall Cup for Best KS3
George Barton 11A – Brian Baber Cup Best KS4
The Understones (Year 10 Band) – Best Overall Band
Joe Bradwell 11A – Best soloist
Luke Perkin 10E – Best bassist
Sam Latawski 11B – Best Guitarist

Everyone did an amazing job of performing, showing technical and performance skills as well as ensemble
technique and communication. All students should be really proud of what they managed to achieve and I hope to see more students attend and perform next year!
