The Sidmouth College Association (SCA) joined forces with Sing Gospel, the runners-up of BBC's Gospel Choir of the Year competition, to run a singing workshop and concert on Saturday (September 28).
The money raised from the event will be used towards new dining furniture for Sidmouth College's new building.
The college is trying to raise £100,000 towards new equipment for the block.
SCA member Emma Gray said: "It was an amazing day. Sing Sidmouth was a sell-out with maximum numbers in the hall and a buzzing atmosphere.
