All the boys worked extremely hard, and in the end, the acting and singing came together extremely well and the boys can be very proud of what they achieved. Thanks as always go to the team of parents and staff who supported the production.
Year 4 Play - 'HONK!'With performances on 3 & 5 March 2010, Year 4 presented their performance of the musical 'HONK!'. All the boys worked very hard, supported by their teachers. They worked together as a team, with lots of happy smiling faces. Audiences, which included their younger peers at the dress rehearsal, were enthralled by the enthusiasm, quality of the speaking and singing, the amusing dialogue and the colourful scenery and costumes; with a group of mums helping with the latter. The Headmaster congratulated all the boys for their hard work, and thanked everyone involved, especially parents, Mrs Blackford, Musical Director, and Mrs Arney as the overall Director.
Company Music Competition (February 2010)Held just prior to the half-term holiday, Years 4 to 8 assembled in their Companies in the Sports Hall to compete for four trophies in this annual competition organised by the Music Department and Company Leaders. Each Company performed four musical pieces; two solo instrumentalists, a vocal and a Company song. This year, the adjudicator was Mr Tim Johnson, Director of Music, Westminster School. Mr Johnson praised the high calibre of the performances, and took time to explore with the boys his criteria for selecting the winners when faced with such a variety of instruments, pieces and ages. The trophy winners of the four categories were:
