Young Stars Shine at Helensburgh’s Got Talent Competition

Local performers dazzled audiences at the annual talent showcase held at Hermitage Academy

Helensburgh’s brightest young performers took centre stage on June 19th as the town’s popular Got Talent competition returned to Hermitage Academy for an evening of exceptional entertainment.

The annual showcase drew an enthusiastic crowd of approximately 150 community members, including proud parents and friends, who gathered to witness nine outstanding acts featuring songs, dances, and creative drumming performances.

Prize Winners Announced

Three talented performers were recognised for their exceptional displays, with prizes generously donated by Lomond Rotary Club and presented by club President Richard Trail. The prize money was contributed to Hermitage Academy’s PTA for the school’s Music Department.

The competition performances evaluated by a panel of three expert adjudicators who ensured fair and professional judging throughout the evening.

Community Support and Funding

The event’s success was made possible through the dedicated support of several key contributors, with funding provided by Helensburgh Community Council. Pamela Frew, Head of Music at Hermitage Academy, provided essential coordination without which organisers say the event could not have taken place. Elizabeth Lambert also played a crucial role in event organisation while managing the tuck shop on the day.

Members of Lomond Rotary Club demonstrated strong community spirit by attending the event and assisting with various arrangements, including operating the Green Room and providing additional support throughout the evening.

The competition highlighted the wealth of artistic talent among Helensburgh’s young people, showcasing the vibrant cultural scene thriving within the local community. The annual event continues to provide an important platform for emerging performers to display their skills and gain valuable performance experience.
