Pupils from the BRIT school of Performing Arts and Technology helped the glittering award ceremony run smoothly by preparing the stage set for girl pop group Mis-teeq.
The music award's profits are donated to the British Record Industry Trust, BRIT, which funds Croydon's BRIT school, Britain's only free performing arts school.
And last Wednesday at the BRIT awards' show, some of the students got the chance for some exceptional work experience by getting the set ready for their pop idols, and meet them backstage.
BRIT student Natasha Boyle, 17, said: "We met Mis-teeq who were really friendly.
"My favourite singer is Sting and I saw him just before he went on stage."
Charlotte Lucas,16, said: "I was standing in a speaker on stage and I punched it forward when Mystique came onstage.
"I certainly wouldn't mind being a backing dancer for some of the pop groups we saw that night."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
