On Saturday 18th January, staff and students attend the District 1 NODA awards, at the Kimpton Clock Tower Hotel in Manchester. Droylsden Academy were nominated for 6 awards for their production of West Side Story;
Best Supporting Male- Lucas Turnbull as A-rab
Best Support Female- Izzy Sinclair as Anita
Best Leading Female- Mia Pearce as Maria
Best Staging of a Youth Musical- WSS
Best Ensemble of a Youth Musical- Entire Cast
Best Youth Production- WSS
As we arrived india room of around 500 people, we found out that we had also been nominated in another category- Best all round vocal performance- Mia Pearce (a category which merged Youth and adult productions)
We are so pleased and proud to announce that we walked away with “Best Supporting Male in a Youth Musical”. Lucas (one of our past Year 11s) was so shocked, and over the moon.
This was such a lovely way to start off our imminent run of Les Misérables! Congratulations to the whole cast for this incredible achievement!
