A wonderful end to the year
Thankfully the weather was kinder than in 2023 and the summer concert moved back to its natural home on the lawn. The traditional outdoor riverside picnic returned and the sun even graced us with an appearance as the evening began.
A varied and packed line-up included an eclectic mix of musical styles with boys performing on a variety of instruments. The Senior Orchestra, Percussion Ensemble, String Ensemble, Senior Choir, Pop Choir and Junior Choir (consisting of the whole of Year 3 and 4) gave memorable performances, as did all of our talented soloists who enjoyed the enthusiastic response from the audience. There really was some phenomenal talent on show. It was also fantastic to see the confidence of some of our younger singers who performed solos.
Interspersed amongst the music were some drama performances delivered by boys in Years 6 and 8, which were a welcome addition to the evening’s programme.
The finale featuring the entire ensemble brought the concert to a magnificent end, with everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm helping to make it a night to remember.
Congratulations and thank you to Mrs Braden, Mr Goff and all of the visiting music teachers who prepare our pupils so well.
