The Autumn Concert
On Thursday 20th November the Music Department held our annual Autumn Concert in the Performance Space. This concert, which is the smaller of our two ensemble concerts we run in the Autumn term, saw over 110 Winston students and 31 students from our Primary Orchestra take to the stage. The concert featured some of our established ensembles (Big Band, Session Band, Junior Session Band, and our Boys Voices Choir) as well as some Winston firsts in our new Year 10 Studio Band and new Cello Ensemble (set up and run by Year 10 student Lana). In addition the concert featured one of our student bands, MOTIVE, and our phenomenal Primary Orchestra which has been meeting on Wednesday evening's throughout the Autumn term. A packed audience were treated to outstanding performances from all the groups. The Music Department would like to say a huge well done to all of the students for their excellent performances and would also like to thank Miss Wells and her student tech team who managed all of the lighting and sound for the event.
Attention now turns to our Young Singer of the Year competition (11th December) and Christmas Concert (16th December), as well as our advent calendar which will be going live on Monday. This will feature performances from some of our fantastic groups, with new performances added each day. In addition some of our brass ensemble will be supporting Woking Hospice's Light Up event and student band MOTIVE will be performing at the opening of the Hospice Christmas Market this weekend.
