Summer Concert

Making Music Together

Parents, staff and students all enjoyed sitting on the patio for the first part of our summer concert.  the sun shone, the music was excellent and everyone enjoyed the BBQ and cool drinks.  This set the tone for the whole evening, as we were entertained by each group or ensemble, celebrating everything that they had been working on throughout the summer term.

The second half of our Summer Concert was held in the Main Hall, starting with a magnificent performance from our orchestra of eighty students and four vocalists.  The Teach Team, under Peter's thoughtful guidance, arranged the sound and lighting to complement each performance.

 Above is our Year 7 Ensemble of Fifty-two students, who have only been learning an instrument for a matter of months and a vocal group.  This is a new initiative to ensure that as many students as possible learn to play.. Funding from grants has enabled us to purchase instruments, which we lend to students, free of charge.  We also provide the tuition.  The impact has been huge and very worthwhile for each of the students.  They feel a sense of achievement and it has boosted their confidence.

Mr Drake and his team are to be commended for the inspirational opportunities that develop for the students.  The quality of the music and enthusiasm and dedication of the students is wonderful.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this event so special.

I hope that you will be able to join us for future events.
