VIDEO: Peterhead pupils up for award… For incredible five second costume change

A team from a north-east secondary school are in the running for a performing arts award in recognition of a miraculous five-second costume change.

Peterhead Academy pupils rocked their way to a podium finish at an annual UK Rock Challenge music and dance competition.

The teenagers beat schools from across the country to take third place in the finals at Milton Keynes earlier this year.

The Aberdeenshire students traveled more than 500 miles to take part in the competition which encourages youngsters to choreograph and star in a short musical.

Now they have been nominated for the Scene or Moment of the Year award thanks to a stunning piece of choreography.

Stuart Cameron, who was involved in organising the performance, said: “It is a people’s choice award – the team with the most ‘likes’ on the Facebook video wins. We are currently in second place to Westlakes Academy from Cumbria.”

Mr Cameron has asked the Peterhead community to rally around and support the team by ‘liking’ and sharing the video in an effort to send it viral and claim the prestigious award.
