The musicians, from Years 7 through to 10, have all been invited to perform at TolFest at Mansfield Library on 29 June after impressing organisers of a song writing course at Carlton le Willows.

All of the students have written their own material as part of the course, run by Inspire Arts for Academy students, and are looking forward to performing at the annual summer arts festival.

Nina Smith and Toni Sheard spent time ahead of the event schooling the students in stagecraft and mic skills to ensure the best possible performance from the budding musicians.
