The K-Factor

Overview

The K-Factor is a biannual school event organized in conjunction with King's School, Rochester as a showcase for the school's musical talent. Following a similar format to the acclaimed show, the event has proved highly successful with sell-out audiences in its first two runs. Geared as a charity event, both shows thus far have contributed considerable sums to the school's respective yearly charity.
