Six prestigious national prizes have added up to one of the most award-winning terms in recent history for a Shropshire school’s vibrant music department.
Wrekin College’s haul includes accolades for ensembles and individual musicians picked up at events across the country.
Earlier this month, the Jazz Band also attained first place and Best Programme Awards in the schools category of the Great North Big Band Jazz Festival. To top things off, sax player Toby Egerton was awarded the prize for being the outstanding soloist, with his stylish rendition of the classic song Skylark.
“A great deal of hard work has gone into preparing for all these events and I am very proud of all of those involved,” he added. “They have given their very best and thoroughly deserve their moment on the national stage. To come away with some highly coveted awards is wonderful and something to truly be celebrated.
"The talent, teamwork and pure enjoyment on display at both Symphony Hall for the Barnardo’s competition and then at Warwick School for the NCBF finals was really something very special.
