YOUNG MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR

We held the Grand Final of the LGGS Young Musician of the Year (YMOTY) competition this term.

The YMOTY initiative was launched in 2017 and has been a great success, showcasing the talent of LGGS musicians of all ages and abilities.

A series of preliminary 'rounds' were held during lunchtimes in front of a panel of staff and senior students, with our juniors (Years 7 - 9) and seniors (Years 10 -13) performing in the following categories: Strings, Woodwind, Brass, Drums/Percussion, Guitar, Voice and Piano. From these categories, the winners and 'judge's wild-cards' were invited to perform ay the Grand Final. The evening was a great success and our guest judge, Clare Douglas, did a fabulous job of offering plenty of encouraging advice as well as some expert guidance. The quality of performances was truly wonderful and an absolute credit to

LGGS. We hope you enjoy watching the performances as much as we did. The final placings were as follows:
