The bi-annual Preparatory School House Music Competition took place on Tuesday this week. Pupils performed a range of music from Bach to Busted – to a packed School Hall for a fun afternoon celebrating our love of music.
Our guest judge was Chris Gabbitas, an Old Roffensian (and former Chorister) who has gone on to have a successful career in Music (as a member of the internationally-renowned King’s Singers) and Law (as a Partner, specialising in Media).
Parker secured prizes in the House Ensemble and House Song categories, but thanks to some strong individual and group performances, Storrs were the overall winners.
Mrs Nathan, Director of Music (Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory Schools)
