House Singing

There was plenty of talent taking to the Boyd Campbell Hall stage at October’s House Singing Competition.

TThe whole school across the four Houses took part and thoroughly enjoyed stretching their vocal chords! We welcomed back Mr Nicholas Danks (OL) and Director of Music at Corpus Cambridge, who had the difficult task of separating the excellent performances.

As well as getting everyone involved in some dressing-up and use of all sorts of props, House Singing generates a real competitive spirit – and great fun was had by all. Moore House took the points for the Solo category and Part song, while Norwood were the victorious House overall. n

Commemoration Concert

This October, in Harrow’s Speech Room, our annual commemoration concert with Harrow School took place. The collaboration between both schools gave us all a spectacular evening of music, with works from the likes of Monteverdi and Mendelssohn. The largest collaboration was between the two choirs in which pupils from Year 7 to Upper Sixth put in a lot of hard work to create a great sound on the night. A special congratulations to Amaroo (8GMM) who captivated us all with his solo. The John Lyon Chamber Orchestra also performed their rendition of Gabriel’s Oboe in which members of the Harrow Orchestra joined us to make a much grander sound. I would also like to say a huge congratulations to Sammy and Josh (both U6PWM) who played a huge part in the Harrow orchestra. Overall, we were all treated to a marvellous evening of music, and once again a huge well done to everyone involved. n
