The group made up of Adam Coffin, Alex Lockheart, August Fox, Jack Gallacher, Joshua Attrill, Matthew Chappell and Quantae Ramdin - were praised for their creativity, ability to improvise, cohesive sound and energy.
The group won a Certificate of Achievement for Innovation and were nominated for further development and mentoring from the Music for Youth judges.
Student Alex Lockheart said: “This is a great way to finish off my sixth form education and I’d like to thank Music for Youth for allowing us to showcase original music.”
