Pupils from the Prep. School treated friends and family to an evening of music and dance. Choirs from several year groups shared the songs they had been learning in their classroom music lessons, and four ensembles also performed following many weeks of lunchtime rehearsals.
The event featured performances from two ballet groups and solo dancers, including Jessamy (ballet and contemporary) and Rosanna (Irish dancing). The evening concluded with a seasonal audience sing-along and a medley of Christmas music from the orchestra, enhanced by some percussion contributions from parents.
A heartfelt thanks to the many individuals who made the evening possible: Mr. Norris and the porterage team; Ms. Hebdon (lighting & sound); Mr. Bettley, Mrs. Boden, and Mr. Vinall (musical directors); Ms. Brownett (dance director); Lucas Rushton (trombone); Mr. Rees (tuba); Mr. Holmes (percussion); Mr. Morgan (violin); Mrs. Hines (viola); and Mr. Mountford (piano)
