Marsden High School has again scooped the pool at the annual Battle of the Bands competition, with two-piece ‘Corpus’ taking out the top honour of ‘Best Band’.
Keiron Steel and Jack Bruun-Hammond outplayed 13 other local bands to take out first place in the Judges Choice awards section.
Capping off Marsden High’s successful evening were ‘Midnight Chemistry’s’ Adam Amin, Kapilash Sivapragasm, and Arial Hay - who took out the people’s choice award.
All students put their success down to the school’s music co-ordinator Milena Idrus, and their thriving music program.
The winners have all at one stage or another been part of Marsden’s vocal group, concert band, stage band and string ensemble.
Ms Idrus said: “Marsden has a very strong presence in the local band scene and with winners in the last three battle of the bands, this comes as no real surprise.
“The students at Marsden are amazing ambassadors for the school and highly talented,” she said.
The annual event, held as part of youth week, showcased talent from every secondary school in the Ryde local government area.
Bands were given 10 minutes each to impress the crowd and judges with their original compositions.
