They sold the tickets, produced programmes, and bought costumes all whilst practicing their own dances. The show involved young people from Shelfield Sports College, Frank F Harrison School, and New Deal, along with the StreetCheer national champions the Shelfield Knights. The night was a great success with everyone enjoying themselves all of the performances were to a very high standard.
