Final Wrap Up

Well look at that, too many picks, too little time. Seriously, I could have happily kept picking til way into 2012. So much amazing talent to choose from, so young, and the music! Totally blew me away how sophisticated and on the money the acts have been. From straight up rock n roll, to punk, crazy good electronic, complex hip hop and even proper soul. It has been my pleasure, MySchoolAct 2011 I salute you.

Time for the finals now and this year’s big winners.You’re all winners.. Well sort of. Yes, some of the acts will be grinning wider than others on December 11 but please remember all of you, bravo for pushing the boat out and make sure you keep at it! The worst thing that can happen is that you have a lot of fun and make the neighbours really really angry. Nothing wrong with that either, you were gonna do that anyway.

Nathan Sapsford is the 2011 MySchoolAct Competition Presenter and Host. To find out more about Nathan, click here.
