Storm the Stage results?
Wed, 3 Nov 2004, 12:57 amHello,
I was just wondering what the results were for Storm the Stage last night? Or even if someone could write a review on the evening if possible.
Many thanks,
Brock

Well, I hope you have seen the results of Storm the Stage on the Billboard Bulletins Forum, so i won't bore you with the results here.
Melanie DeCull also wrote a brief review of the evening and she loved it!
The evening started brilliantly with Mr Nick Christo who is a very good looking and funny young man acting as MC. I think it is very fitting that a young person should have done this job, in keeping with the theme of the night.
The first entertainment was the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra who were aboslutely brilliant. At this point, I was ready to hear another piece from them, but was also anxious to see the array of talent in the competition.
I was in awe of the massive size of the stage, and wondered how one single performer with minimal props could fill such a performance space.
I was very pleased with the decision by the organisers to have the contestants perform in front of the curtain! This worked well, and gave the contestants plenty of space to demonstrate their talent.
Being the first performer must have been extremely difficult, but the young man concerned performed with great courage and applomb!
The confidence of each performer was amazing, and although most of them probably had butterflies the size of dinner plates in their stomachs, they did not show it at all!
The Musical Director was brilliant, and added so much to all of the musical theatre performances. He obviously loves playing the piano, as he performed as if he had been accompanying these young people for months! Congratulations.
All of the competitors in the first half were truly amazing, and at interval, I think the audience was very glad that they were not in the position of the judges who were going to have an extremely difficult time! We were eagerly anticipating the second half!
The curtain opened after interval with another performance by the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra which was great!
The second half of the competition started with another young man with amazing talent, and continued to blow us away with each next performer.
By the end of the competition, I think the audience couldn't believe that these young people were only between 16-19 years old! They all acquitted themselves brilliantly and gave very professional performances!
The entertainment which concluded the evening was an intriguing peformance by the WA Ballet Company of an aboriginal inspired piece.
It held the entire audience rapt for the whole time and once again shaking their heads wondering how much amazing talent we have in WA!
The judges appeared on stage for the presentations, and the nail biting bit was about to commence!
The winners were announced, including a special surprise announcement of another audition prize by Bevan Lee which was most appreciated!
This competition was so fierce and of such a high standard, that any of the competitors could have won any of the prizes. To those who did, congratulations! To those who didn't win, just remember you are winnes anyway. What an awesome experience for you to perform in a professional venue with other professional artists and support team.
I know you inspired each other, and also the audience.
I know that you will go away from this experience having learnt so much, and hopefully having grown as a performer. Congratulations to all who competed in any of the Storm the Stage Heats, Semi Finals, and Grand final as you have great gifts which need to be nurtured and encouraged! Well done!
Congratulations also to the organisers of this competition, which includes many Rotary Clubs around WA, in addition to the organising committee, and also to the amazing Kerri Hilton, who put in hours and hours of hard work. Congratulation Kerri, it all paid off.
I wish the organisers all the best in their plans for making Storm the Stage go national next year.
