The school that ROCKED! Musical showcase at The Spring.
Last night, thirty-six talented Year 10 and 11 music students took to the stage at The Spring in Havant, wowing a full house with an unforgettable live performance showcase.
The event was all about giving our students a real taste of life as a musician -performing in a professional arts venue, collaborating with sound engineers, technicians, and venue staff, and experiencing the buzz of a live show.
Their set list was as varied as it was impressive, featuring everything from stripped-back acoustic songs and powerful guitar solos to full-band covers of legendary acts like Green Day, The Cure and The Smashing Pumpkins. One highlight included an original rap written and performed by our very own Year 11 student, Bailey.
Audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising how confident and at home our students seemed on stage. Staff in attendance were blown away by the talent and stage presence on display - especially by those performing live for the very first time.
Mr Armstrong, Head of Music, shared how incredibly proud he was of all the performers, describing their commitment, creativity, and bravery as "truly inspiring."
Crookhorn's got talent, and last night they ROCKED!
“I am immensely proud of our music students for their outstanding performance at our live music event!
