Successful Sisters

Chloe and Gemma McConville have had a fantastic weekend!

Their successes started on Friday evening when both competed in the musical theatre classes at the Fleetwood Music & Arts Festival; both won their classes and received trophies. Saturday was a very hectic day, which saw them compete in a total of 19 classes ranging from solo acting, to sight reading to bible readings to recital classes. Chloe achieved two first places, three second places and a third place. Gemma achieved one first, three seconds and three third places.

The recital class which Gemma won was open to any age group. Candidates had to pick a choice of three pieces (made up of a prose reading, a piece of poetry and an acting piece), all of which had a common link, and then create and deliver an appropriate introduction linking all three pieces together. Gemma, aged 10, had to compete against Chloe (who won the trophy last year) and a senior drama teacher. She not only won the class but gained a mark of 90, the best achieved by any student in the Festival!

Well done girls.
