THREE Beverley Schools have wowed judges in this years Humberside Police Rock Challenge senior event.
Longcroft School and Performing Arts College took second place with their piece ‘Tears of a Geisha’ which was introduced to audiences by student representative Emily Cox who said: “Delve into Eastern civilisation where the village celebrates the beauty of the Geisha. Embark upon a journey where Warrior and Geisha meet and are entwined by love. One Princess breaks this, throwing the village into disarray as her husband to be is not her true love. Though this she falls in love with a boy igniting chaos across the village.”
Longcroft also won numerous awards including; the Arco Award for Performance Skill,Joseph & Annie Cattle Trust Award for Soundtrac, Vivergo Fuels Award for Stage Crew
and the Tega Award for Lighting Design.
Beverley High School for girls and Beverley Grammar School for boys made their Rock Challenge debut with a combined performance of their piece ‘The Ghost of Marie Celeste’.

‘The Ghost of The Marie Celeste’ scooped a number of awards including; LLoyds TSB Community Fund Award for Staging, Humberside Police Youth Engagement Team Award for Spirit of Rock Challenge, Humberside Police Award for Achievement in Drug Awareness and the Award for Community Support.
