MUSICAL maestros showed they had the X-Factor as they sparkled at a school competition.

Pupils from Dyson Perrins CE Sports College, Malvern, took part in a music competition for the third consecutive year.

Students were invited to prepare an audition piece (much like X-Factor) and 150 students took part.

The winners were Dan Soley for lower school solo, Sam Dudley and David Turner for lower school ensemble, James Godfrey for upper school solo and Danny Hey and Dan Freeth for upper school ensemble.

While the judges made their decision the audience was entertained by Foley House students performing the YMCA, rehearsed by Sam Cox, and some street dancing choreographed by Nicky Owen.
