Bedford Modern School take part in Bedfordshire Festival of Music, Speech and Drama

Around 100 students who have their Speech and Drama lessons at Bedford Modern School took part in the annual Bedfordshire Festival of Music, Speech and Drama held at the Corn Exchange between 6th and 13th March 2010.

Students from all year groups were represented in 27 classes performing in front of students from other schools, parents, families, friends, teachers and, of course, an adjudicator. Regrettably, a number of experienced BMS Speech and Drama students were unable to perform due to a clash of commitments with the School’s production of West Side Story.

However, those that were able to perform did themselves, and the School, proud and are to be congratulated on their efforts. Particular mention must be made of the following who were placed either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their particular categories:-

Duologues 9-11 Years
1st Albert Ensor-Clinch and Henry Bridge

Shakespeare Duologue (14 Years and Over)
