Why attend?
"I know X has absolutely loved attending every year and as a parent it has been probably the most enjoyable and memorable activity we have attended over the years - not just to be able to see X perform but also to see all the other students enjoy themselves so much and develop over the years. It has certainly been one of the major influences in why X has decided to pursue a career in music."
