Hi everybody, We're really sorry to share that this year's concert, Second to None, has been cancelled. Unfortunately, with ticket sales well below what's needed to cover venue, tech, and other essential costs, going ahead would put the group at serious financial risk. As a small non-profit, we simply can't absorb that kind of loss, so this was the most responsible decision to protect the future of the group. To the few of you who bought tickets, thank you. Truly. Your support means the world to us, and it's the reason we do this. Full refunds will be processed. We're genuinely gutted but very grateful for your understanding and support. We hope you'll stick with us, and we look forward to seeing you at next year's musical. In the meantime, keep an eye out for smaller fundraising events we're planning in place of the concert.

What a fantastic day at the NODA Awards! 🎭✨
A huge congratulations to Austin, who won Best Individual Youth Performance! We are incredibly proud of you and this well-deserved achievement.

We would also like to congratulate Kacey on being nominated for Best Individual Musical Performance. While the award wasn't yours this time, being nominated is an incredible achievement in itself, and we couldn't be prouder of everything you have accomplished.

Our group was also honoured to be nominated for Best Youth Theatre Performance for what was our final production as a youth theatre group. Although we didn't take home the award this year, we were delighted to be recognised alongside so many talented groups and would like to congratulate the worthy winners.

As we move into an exciting new chapter as an amateur theatre group, we know we will be joining a wonderful local theatre community filled with incredible talent, creativity, and experience. We have a lot to learn, plenty of challenges ahead, and we're looking forward to seeing what we can achieve while continuing to grow as a group.
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners today, and thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey so far. Here's to the next chapter! 🌟🎭

You asked… and we delivered ✨

Over the past few days, several people have reached out saying they were struggling to find the time to record and submit their self-tapes for Second to None.

Because of this, we’re happy to announce that the self-tape deadline has now been extended to Saturday 16th May 🎭

So if you’ve been meaning to audition but just needed a little more time to perfect that song, learn those harmonies, or unleash your inner scene-stealer… this is your moment.

Whether you’re bringing chaos, comedy, powerhouse vocals, or pure spotlight energy — we can’t wait to see what you send in.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of something truly Second to None ✨
