It says in the Fesitval terms that only Years 7-11 are allowed to participate, or students under 16. But it's a well known fact that most schools ignore those rules in favour of a brilliant performance- our school doesn't because the directors, dear Gwyneth and Linners, are sticklers for the rules.
But the first Antonio never came to rehearsals so one of the year 12 Drama students got asked to replace her, and then she couldn't make the second performance so the year 12 Jack-of-all-trades got asked- that's me.
