Last year's competition was held on Wednesday 17 February. The audience was exposed to various music styles and was given a surprise performance by Bye Benaco, of which two members are St Mary’s Old Girls.

The competition was incredibly tight but in the end, Dee Sharp from Randpark High won with their smooth, alternative genre, which definitely appealed to the audience. Kaleidoscope and 3^rd Millennium from St Mary’s also performed and were hugely popular with the many St Mary’s girls and staff members in the audience.

The lighting competition really added to the spectacle of the evening. This was won by Mark Milward from Sacred Heart College.

The event proved to be a great success and was well supported by parents and students alike.
