Barrow Hills Spring Term Concert was a huge success on Tuesday evening. The audience enjoyed both ensemble and solo items, all performed with polish and with a fantastic amount of stage presence.
Particularly popular with the audience was the Year 5 band, the Skull Splitters, who played one of their own compositions and also bravely debuted at King Edward’s the following evening in front of the whole School.
It was fantastic to see performances from age groups right across the School, from the youngest Larks choir and recorder ensemble in Pre-Prep, up to the Senior Choir comprised of children from the top end of the School. The Years 5 and 6 choir performed ‘Food, Glorious, Food’ from their upcoming production of ‘Oliver’, and it is clear to see they are working very hard towards what will be a wonderful occasion.
It was lovely to see a packed chapel with parents and family members coming to support their children. A huge thanks must go to all of the music teachers who helped to prepare the children to such a high standard, and also to those teachers who stayed late to supervise the children before and during the concert.
