SPYGT: I'M STILL STANDING Social distancing wasn't going to stop this year's St Peters You've Got Talent from going ahead. And it was worth the 'at home concert'!

t Peters You've Got Talent (SPYGT) made it's annual appearance this year but under slightly different circumstances.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the PAC couldn't host an audience for our SPYGT finalists. However, we weren't going to let that stop the party! Instead, finalists were recorded and acts were livestreamed to our St Peters community. The atmosphere was a bit different but we all imagined that families were having their own SPYGT parties in the comfort of their own living rooms. Watch it here:
Up first, Senior boarder, Chloe W, impressed us with her piano and vocal rendition of Andra Day's, Rise Up. Fellow Senior, Nicole C, also treated us to a vocal solo, with her version of Rihanna's Love on the Brain and Year 7 student Arabella N, sang Pulled from the Addams Family musical. Year 11 student, Arman A, inspired fellow

pianists, letting his fingers dance along the keys and The Pulse, a band of students from Years 10 and 11, belted out The Black Keys', Lonely Boy. Tyler H, Year 7, demonstrated his quirky side with a pogo-jumping skit he performed whilst solving a Rubik's Cube! Finally, Seniors, Cassie B and Alex J, rounded off the finalists with a guitar/ukulele and vocal duet by Vince Myers called I Did It All. Regardless of social distancing, SPYGT wouldn't be the same with acts from Boys Boarding and Staff. They didn't let us down this year; the Boys putting their air-swimming skills to good use and the Staff donning old St Peters uniforms and breaking into various song and dance from The Sound of Music. Congratulations to The Pulse, Chloe and Cassie and Alex for placing first, second and third respectively. Until next year...!
