Twenty-five of the Islands’ children were transformed into pop star sensations during the second annual 5-star Academy.
The children, aged between 8 and 12 years, took part in workshops, makeovers and photo shoots over the February half term break.
The week culminated in a sell out X-Factor style performance at St Mary’s Town Hall.
Five groups battled it out to become the Star Maker 2007 winners in an audience vote.
And the bands showcased a repertoire of songs by artists from Simon and Garfunkel to the Sugababes.
The event was funded by the Council’s Youth Opportunity Grant, with 5-star Marketing Director Mathew Allen and Resident Choreographer Jonathon Wilson, who accompanied 10 of their students from the Cornwall-based Academy to the Isles of Scilly.
The students, aged between 15 and 21, worked in pairs to become mentors, stylists, voice coaches and choreographers, producing five highly-styled groups each with their own unique image.
The Council’s Acting Early Years and Youth Officer, Helen McGuinness, said: “It was an intense but very exciting week for everyone involved. It is always inspiring to see the amount of talent and creativity from both the 5-star Academy and the children who took part in the project.”
Jubilant winners ‘Street Vibes’ will enjoy an all-expenses paid trip to the Hall for Cornwall next week to see the Australian Dance Theatre Company.
