What festive treats we have enjoyed this week in the run up to Christmas! Year 3 put us all in the seasonal mood kicking off with a fantastic production of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’ – as well as providing an excellent excuse for the first of many mince pies. My thanks go to Gaby Clements and her Year 3 team for inspiring and stage managing 40 excitable boys in what was a very entertaining performance.
Year 4’s concert was nothing short of brilliant! From courageous individual performances to the large group songs, all pieces were strong and confident and a joy to hear. Well done and thank you to Clare Symonds, Head of Year 4, for encouraging the boys to put themselves forward and for pulling the programme together. Do visit our News and Stories page https://www.moulsford.com/media/filter/videos to see some video clips, including the delightful harp trio led by Mrs Hill.
The Pre-Prep’s rendition of ‘The Angel Express’ was enthusiastically performed and hugely enjoyable to watch. Congratulations and thank you to Nikki Hartley and the Pre-Prep team for this charming and entertaining spin on the nativity story, which was brought to life with energy, fun, and some fabulous singing.
On that note (if you’ll excuse the pun!), Camilla Moore really does deserve extra special thanks and congratulations for the musical repertoire of each of these three performances. Miss Moore manages to get the very best out of the boys with her infectious enthusiasm, and achieves so much while keeping it fun. Thank you to Camilla and all of the staff for working so hard to give so many boys and parents some very happy memories.
We can now look forward to hearing the junior and senior choirs perform at the PA Christmas Fair tomorrow, as well as the Jazz Ensemble, with our grand finale at next week’s carol service at Pangbourne. It’s a very busy time for the Music Department – keep going Mr Bissell!
And finally, for a bit of light-hearted festive fun, please see a seasonal video message from me and a few members of my senior management team at https://twitter.com/moulsford/status/1071015082598039552
‘Tis the season to be jolly!
