Annual Music Festival 2025

Annual Music Festival 2025 – A Night to Remember!

On Thursday, 30th January, St Mary’s CE High School hosted its Annual Music Festival, a spectacular evening celebrating the musical talent of our students. Finalists in each category took to the stage to compete in front of an enthusiastic audience and an esteemed panel of judges.

Our judges this year were Abigail Climber, a former St Marian now thriving in the West End and working on the upcoming 2026 production of The Greatest Showman, and Mrs. Crosby, a highly respected local theatre performer and former staff member. They provided invaluable feedback, encouragement, and expert advice to all performers.

The competition featured a variety of categories, with winners as follows:

🏆 Winners: 🎤 Beginner Vocals: Elizabeth 🎤 Intermediate Vocals: Eve 🎤 Advanced Vocals: Koneil 🎹 Instrumental Solo: Jason (piano) 🎶 Duet: Navmi & Koneil 🙏 Faith Song: Shanay 🎸 Instrument & Vocal: Neville

The highlight of the evening was the announcement of Koneil (Year 11) as ‘Musician of the Year’, wowing the audience with an expressive and powerful performance.

For the first time, we also welcomed primary school performers, with Ruby from Holy Trinity CE Primary School delivering an impressive winning performance.

A huge congratulations to all our talented performers and a big thank you to our judges, staff, and families for their support in making this event such a success. We look forward to another fantastic showcase of talent next year! 🎶✨
