The talented group of young musicians impressed judges once again with their dynamic performance, securing their place at the top among a highly competitive field of school bands from across the UK.
The event's judge, Greg Mudd, praised the overall standard of entries in this year’s competition:
“The 2025 ISA Band Competition showcased an astonishing range of submissions. From contemporary styles to classical influences, the vast array of genres and musical approaches highlighted the richness and diversity of collaborative music-making. It was truly inspiring to see so many students deeply engaged in group performance, demonstrating not only technical skill but a shared love for creating music together. Special recognition goes to the dedicated teachers and music staff whose guidance and encouragement were evident in every entry.”
The Lites’s success not only reflects their musical ability but also the strength of Leweston’s commitment to arts education. Their performance was commended for its energy, cohesion, and creative flair—hallmarks of a group that clearly enjoys making music together.
The victory marks another high note in what has already been a vibrant year for the school’s music department, and sets the stage for future success as The Lites continue to grow and inspire.
