FASBAT'S GOT TALENT 2017
I really don't know how our pupils do it! Every year the talent show gets better and better and the acts get more inventive. The evening kicked off with the 5-7's 8+ and 11+ classes performing Is This The Way To Amerillo. Swiftly followed by a fantastic clapping routine by the Seniors Class. This routine as been done by Michale Barrymore and more recently Bradley Walsh at the London Palladium. We were to clapping as Riverdance is to dancing. It was a spectacular start to a fabulous show.
The judges this year were Sabrina Capes, an actress and a disney princess, Alex Coppola, an professional actor having just graduated from GSA and Lucan Mills, a rapper who has performed with the likes of Ed Sheeran . They had a very hard task to pick the Most Entertaining Act of the evening but came to their conclusion very quickly. Each judge commented on every act that took part and imparted their expertise and their wisdom.
Winner 5-7 Years Class - Emily Moss singing about a Pea
Winner 8+ Class - Jecca Millie Cooper with a monolgue from Cinderella
Winner 11+ Class - Amelie Barker with a self written monolgue that had an interesting twist
Runner Up Seniors Class - Peter Flower with a monolgue by Rowan Atkinson
Winner Seniors Class - Ruby and Eve with a self written duologue about an Irish counselling session
Winner of Most Entertaining Act 2016 (As voted for by the judges) - Peter Flower with his very funny Rowan Atkinson monologue.
