Lunchtime Music Recitals Return

By

It was great to see a return to our informal lunchtime music concerts just before the half term break. A number of our music groups gathered to share what they have been working on with an audience of staff and students, and for some of the boys it was their first experience of performing live.

There were performances by the Woodwind Group, the Jazz Collective, and our Hip Hop Orchestra. There was also a solo spot by Torin who performed a wonderful version of Wonderwall on both guitar and vocal. 

Well done to all of the boys involved and thank you to our wonderful instrument tuition team that has been working hard to get the musicians prepared.

Our next informal lunchtime concert for students and staff is on Thursday 7th July in room 247.

End of Term Vocal and Instrumental Showcase

By

On Wednesday 3 April, a dedicated group of boys shared their developing musical talent and enthusiasm with a packed theatre of family and friends.

The show kicked off with our Jazz Collective, who shared their take on some lush and classic theme tune arrangements. Other group performances included the contemporary sounds of the KS3 ensemble, the swell and swing of our sax group and the bright sureness of our vocal group.

In between, the crowd enjoyed a range of solo and duet pieces on saxophone, violin, bass, drums, and guitar covering a broad range of genres and levels. All
students involved should be very proud of a terrific concert and also of their own personal achievements.

The Friends of Forest Hill have kindly offered to help us raise some extra funds for resources in the department this term. This will be vital in getting a number of mac computers back into use for our students.

The concert will be on Tuesday October 16th and starts at 6.30pm in the KKT.
