Congratulations!!!

Congratulations to all the students who performed in A Night At The Musicals.  It was a stunning show which really showcased the talent that we, as teachers, are so fortunate to be able to work with.

Every single student, whatever their role, gave their all and produced an amazing evening of entertainment both nights, definitely leaving the audiences wanting more.  A link will soon be posted here for photos.

Now to decide next year’s production…

 

Thursday & Friday Help Needed

Dear All,

We REALLY need a few parents to volunteer to run the raffle on Thursday and Friday – only one parent has so far come forward!!

Please, whether you were aiming to go to the show or not, if you can help between 6.45 and 7.30, and then 8.30-9pm, the Performing Arts Faculty would be eternally grateful.

Change to Production Rehearsals

As the small group rehearsals went SO well today, we are changing the after-school rehearsals tomorrow. We do not want the small groups to rehearse tomorrow at all :

Lunchtime        Full Cast (Mamma Mia)

3.30-4.25pm     Full Cast + Jacob Egglestone (all chorus numbers)

4.25-5.15pm     ALL solo and duet numbers

The show is looking brilliant – the students have worked so well together we, as staff, are in awe of them.  Please do try to encourage family/friends/colleagues to come on Thurs or Fri, itwill be a great evening’s entertainment.

Photos from Friday

Here is the link to some photos of Friday’s Swing Band gig in Grange, very kindly taken by Dan Miller.  The band did really well (considering the fact that I have cancelled so many rehearsals since Christmas), with impressive solo debuts from Jacob Egglestone on vocals and Pascal and Iona on sax.

Well done everyone!!!!!
