FAQ's: The Showcase Event

Twice a year we host in-house showcases as a chance for our pupils to gain  public speaking experience in a non-competitive environment. 

Pupils can preview festival pieces, and perform exam pieces – and get a big  supportive round of applause from families and friends! 

The Showcases are held in January and July. 

What happens on the day? 

Once everyone is seated, each child is called individually to the microphone  to perform their piece. After every child in the group has performed, all the  children will then be reunited with their parents and can leave together. 

Does the showcase count towards anything? 

No, it doesn’t count towards LAMDA exams and there are no certificates or  awards to be won. This event is purely for confidence building and experience!  It’s a chance for every child to stand up in front of an audience and perform  - and get a big round of applause and lots of congratulations! It is a good  opportunity to preview a festival piece and get the experience of performing  in front of a crowd before the competitions take place. It is also a great time  to celebrate all your children’s hard work in preparing for the exams - and  a chance for you to see what they have been working on. We recommend  lots of public speaking experience; the more often your children perform to  large crowds when they are young, the less daunting it is as they grow up  and the more experience they have under their belt.
