The Results are in from Day One of the 2016 Be Your Best Rock Challenge\u00ae in Dundee!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two schools from Angus competed in the 2016 Be Your Best Rock Challenge\u00ae and Arbroath Academy were placed second in tonight\u2019s show!<\/p>\n

Arbroath Academy\u2019s performance, \u2018Wild things\u2019, was colourful and energetic from start to finish. \u00a0Using vibrant and bold costumes to create larger than life characters Arbroath Academy created a truly mesmerising performance that was performed with whole hearted conviction. \u00a0A pulsating sound track kept up the pace of the story and allowed it to flow whilst atmospheric lighting added an extra dimension to this well thought out performance.<\/p>\n

Montrose Academy took to the stage with their moving piece \u2018Phytophthora\u2019 which was based on the true events of the potato famine. \u00a0An impressive set design, which moved throughout, set a strong visual backdrop for this harrowing performance which showcased strong drama skills and excellent use of stage. \u00a0Bold lighting enhanced the performance whilst an emotive soundtrack guided the audience through their piece winning them an array of Awards of Excellence.<\/p>\n

The event, held at Caird Hall, attracted a large audience and was supported by PQA, Angus Council, Police Scotland and Choices for Life.<\/p>\n

Pauline Stephen, Head of Schools and Learning, attended the event and awarded first place and said \u201cThe performances are always amazing and so professional, and tonight was no exception. \u00a0We saw some absolutely wonderful talent on display. It just shows how good our young people are across the whole of Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n
