The second night of the amazing Northern Grand Finals of the Humberside Police Rock Challenge took place at Grimsby Auditorium last week involving twelve primary and secondary schools from across the north of England, Ireland and Scotland displaying the very best of youth talent.
Longcroft School and Performing Arts College, of Beverley, claimed second place with their visually stunning performance ‘Tears of the Geisha’ depicting the effects of arranged marriages, receiving a gold framed award from the High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, Mr Toby Dennis.
They also received a number of prestigious awards including Ansvar Insurance Award for Performance Skill, Vivergo Fuels Award for Drama Skills, and the Police Service for Northern Ireland Award for Concept Interpretation.
Deputy Police and Come Commissioner for Humberside Police Paul Robinson said: “Tonight we have seen some absolute fantastic performances by all schools portraying some very difficult and complex issues in a truly dynamic way.
“The level of professionalism is outstanding and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner will always continue to support Rock Challenge as it give our local young people such terrific opportunities.”
