G factor first round review

On Friday 20th September 2013, we successfully hosted our annual trade mark "G Factor". The competition demonstrated passion, dedication and discipline participants developed through the first month of this academic year. There was a definite team spirit and support amongst participants, teachers and most importantly the students. This marks music department's effort to produce 2 of its truly 100% Gros Islet Secondary School Product; the legendary music room and one if a kind G Factor. This round, there were 16 participants. All gave their best but only 12 could advance to next round. It was a real tough decision for judges due to extreme performance displayed by students who usually perform well and others who just come out and surprise everyone. Job well done to all students who took part and round of applause to our students who witnessed this history in making for being an awesome audience. The list of students who made it to next round will be posted soon, for now enough talking. Have a look at some of our photos. Special thanks to our professional photographer,  Mr Dorville.

Anyways here are some photos, students I would like to take this opportunities to say that while I support school of music and any other institutions providing music lessons, these lessons are offered FREE at the school.
