Breaking Conventions

'Breaking Conventions' is a festival that runs through the school with one performance a term. Organised by Music, but including other urban arts (in this case dance, performance poetry, as well as MC'ing and vocal groups).

Pupils work towards the event in Music Tech club, and independently. We hold auditions for the event and then they have a few weeks to polish their performances. Usually we have a guest performer (MC or poet etc.), and the big one is in October when we link it to Black History Month and raise money for charity last year it was the Mary Seacole Foundation previously it has been the Desmond Tutu Foundation in the past.
