The Christmas Concert was a wonderful, festive occasion, bringing together musicians aged 8 to 18 from across the Junior and Senior Schools. King’s Brass started proceedings, presenting a lovely traditional carol, followed by a toe-tapping rendition of Jingle Bell Rock. Pupils from Year 4 and from Year 5 formed two choirs for this event. For many of them, this was their first time standing on the large stage in School Hall to give a musical performance in public. Both groups sang beautifully – well done to them! Super Strings had everyone singing along to a jolly performance of ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’. Brass Monkeys also offered two well-known tunes: ‘Little Donkey’ and ‘Carol of the Bells’. The Senior Choir performed three items, the first of which featured superb solos from Alex, Ruby and Selena. The Choristers sang their two items stylishly and with such apparent ease. They showed everyone how committed they are, preparing and singing a wide range of music in front of members of the public on an almost daily basis. The final item in the programme was a suite of themes from the film ‘Polar Express’, played with impressive agility and flair by the Senior Orchestra.
With all the seasonal contributions in the programme and the two audience Christmas songs, everyone left the Hall with a smile and in no doubt that the magical season is truly upon us. Congratulations to all performers – you did an excellent job – and thank you many times over to the staff who contributed and collaborated to put such an enjoyable evening together.
