We are delighted to share the full list of boys who achieved a wonderful top three place in this year’s Bedfordshire Festival of Music, Speech and Drama. Between them, the boys scooped a remarkable 72 placings—an impressive result in any year, but even more so in the midst of a global pandemic. The new online format certainly added a complication or two to the normal competition, but we are proud to say that the boys and their teachers rose to the challenge magnificently.
While the boys may not have had the opportunity to take to the stage, they did get their moment to perform and shine as each submitted a film in every category they entered. Keeping with the usual festival, the judges watched the entrants’ performances and awarded prizes each day, and the boys had the opportunity to hear the adjudicators comments on their pieces. It was lovely to hear all of the boy’s hard work being recognised and their efforts acknowledged.
“Although different to usual, the situation has provided the boys with an opportunity to explore performance for the camera as well as their usual skills. It’s been an event where all the family has been able to get involved from camera crew, rehearsals and even some pets making an appearance! We are so impressed with all of the boys for their outstanding efforts and whether you placed or not you should all be extremely proud of yourselves, just like we are of you!”
