"Can I just say that we had a fantastic day yesterday! The children really enjoyed the experience and the chance to perform in the theatre and the group of children that came to support came home wanting to start dancing - a great result!"

"Huge thanks to you and the rest of the GBDO team for all the organisation that went in to yesterday. We had a great day out, the pupils loved it and we are so proud."

"Fab competition, we all had a great day. See you next year!"
