Fierce Performance
What’s all the fuss about? Fierce Performance! That’s what all the fuss is about. Talent, determination and hard work will make Fierce Performance one of Scotland’s most innovative and exciting training grounds for the most talented young people around.
What’s the aim of the game? It is our aim at Fierce Performance to take those students who show most promise and encourage them, push them and support them on their personal journeys towards excellence. Through fast paced and advanced rehearsal periods focussing on attaining performance level show material, Fierce Performance aims to become one of Scotland’s most successful Performing Arts squads. Within this process we hope to become a leading training ground for future generations of professional performing artists. We also aim to a have a good laugh along the way! It’s no fun if it’s no fun!
How do I get involved? The only way to secure a place in the Fierce Performance squad is by auditioning. Auditions will be held every six months and only the most talented and committed young people will gain a place.
What’s on offer? Fierce Performance is in essence ‘one team’ of performers working to achieve excellence in the arts by demonstrating their skill at competitions and performance opportunities throughout the year. One team with one aim – a flawless performance. We are creating a team of likeminded young people who love performing and love learning. We will encourage these students to be the best that they can be and to enjoy the hard work involved in attaining this goal.
When are the rehearsal sessions? All participants accepted into Fierce Performance will take the same classes and rehearsals. Each of these sessions will include members from the A-Team and a Reserve Team.
The ‘A-Team’ or the ‘Reserve Team’? The A-Team will consist of those young people attaining the highest level of performance ability that in turn, translates into an expectation that they will attend all competitions and performance opportunities. The Reserve Team will consist of equally talented young people who act as Understudies and Swings to those on the A-Team and are ready to step into the limelight should the occasion demand. A-Team and Reserve Team members will train together and learn together. Reserve Team members may not be expected to compete until they advance into the A-Team.
How much of a commitment is it? A lot! If you are accepted into the Fierce Performance group you must understand that rehearsals and classes should be attended each week. Your place is yours to keep for a twelve-month period and the expectation is that you will complete the year (3 terms). Your team depend on your hard work, dedication and commitment to the group.

Fierce Performance members are encouraged to make every effort to attend all extra classes. All Fierce Performance squad members have to re-audition every 12 months to hold onto their place within the squad. Present membership does not however guarantee acceptance into the squad again.
