This year began with an explosive U6 band, ‘The Pokémon Trainers,’ and their high-energy performance of the Pokémon Theme. The lower school was represented by Gabriel Lumsden playing the piano, Ramon Nartallo singing and playing the guitar and Sashank Srikanth singing and playing the keyboard. All were highly commended, getting the entire audience clicking their fingers and waving their hands. The acts also included a Michael Jackson tribute from the one and only Kunal Patel in the U6, complete with the moonwalk and all the signature moves. Trishan Sharma played the Bhangra drums and had everyone tapping their feet; Daniel Skinner in Year 11 performed ‘You Remind Me of a Girl I Used to Know’ by Usher and really impressed the judges with his stage presence. Two U6 rap acts took part: Master D and his Posse rapped Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ and Professor Lobo and Da Latin Crew performed, in true Wilson’s style, an astonishing rap routine that involved the whole audience chanting the full declension of the second person singular personal pronoun "TU TE TUI TIBI TE". This was, in the words of one of the judges, so uncool it just had to be cool. By the end of this, the entire audience was on their feet and the atmosphere in the room was electric. Finally, the Lonesome Laddies, consisting of the Johnson twins, Will and Tom, with George Driscoll, danced to Beyoncé’s ‘All the Single Ladies,’ dressed in black leotards and tights – only at Wilson’s!

Now for the results. In third place: the Lonesome Laddies; in second place: Trishan Sharma. And the first place went to Professor Lobo and Da Latin Crew, aka Will Ries, Kane Walpole, Nathan Lobo and Alex Johnsen.
