| The winning 1st XV ballet troupe |
Farleigh's famous annual Popstars extravaganza was another superb evening's entertainment for 100 boarders on Saturday night.
Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh are not a patch on Farleigh's extraordinary judging panel, which included Elvis and Tinkerbell!
The children performed as soloists and in bands in a variety of eye-popping, toe tapping acts. An enormous amount of preparation went into their acts with many of them rehearsing their singing and dance routines for weeks.
The surprise winner was a corps de ballet of Year 8 boys performing their version of 'Swan Lake'. Who would have thought a few weeks ago that members of the 1st XV rugby team were capable of putting on a performance so totally out of their comfort zone? So shocked were the teachers that they were asked to perform again in front of the whole school in Monday morning's assembly.
