ALOT OF OUR ACTION TAKES PLACE OFF CAMERA. Obviously, you know us for our cameras and films such as Kodak 'Cold' and more recently for our range of batteries. But did you realise that our Health Sciences Division helps surgeons, doctors, radiographers and hospital administrators perform near miracles? Or that Kodak Motion Analysis products help scientists at British Aerospace make sure that what goes up, stays up? Printing and Publishing Imaging make some of the finest products used in the graphics industry And naturally, the countn's leading phOiOgraphers shoot on Kodak protessional ii!r:/. We make 'Eastman' motion picture ncgat!~t' film that is used for most feature hIm and television programme production, also 'Eastman ' print film for cinema projection.

And nearer home, Kodak papers and chemicals are behind most of the cherished pictures we take ourselves. Business people make presentations using our Audio Visual equipment, while their PAIs use our copiers and electronic publishing systems. Organisations like American Express, file and retrieve millions of documents using our computer driven microfilm and opticai-ck ,!; systems.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ MARKS & SPENCER.

Hagley Memorial Schools Prom We are here this evening to remember and pay tribute to all those whose lives ended so tragically last November. Charlene O'Dowd, like the others from Hagley School, was in the audience on the last night of the 1993 Schools Proms, no doubt enjoying the triumphant evening for all the young singers, musicians, actors and dancers performing, but especially the performance by the National Youth Music Theatre. Charlene, like many hundreds of other young people from all over the country, has a special association with the :,\Y\lT. :\ot so long ago she was a member of the cast of "The Ragged Child", a NYMT production, so she would have been particularly proud of the young people who performed excerpts of "Whistle DO\"in the Wind" at last year's Prom. As President of the NYMT I am delighted that the company has been asked to perform this evening, even more so as I was present also on that joyous evening in November last year that was to end so tragically for some. I hope that their memory will last for as long as young people sing and play music together - which will be always. HRH Prince Edward CVO The school community was shattered by the loss of our children and teacher. From the larger community we have received solace and kindnesses in abundance; prayers, letters, flowers, Masses have all helped to unite us to a much greater public and because the bond~ linking Ue; ha\-e been for ged in ~: mp,:th\ ,:r.d loye \\'e belicH-' that the\ \\'i: : . . u . . : ,: i~ a:1-':: develop. The schoolloob rorward h.) h,l\- in~ cl ; clr~e representation at the concert tl) ~hare in the jl)\' l)r the music which played an important part in the lives of the children and the teacher whom we wish to remember. PS Hill Headteacher, Hagley RC High School A Schools Prom is always an occasion for enjoyment and a celebration of music-making. Today, however, it is also a commemoration of thirteen lives tragically cut short. For many of

those present, I am sure that what is played and sung tonight will sfu memories and emotions. Such is the power of music. But it will also help to build a lasting memorial to those who died, and so help other children learn about and make music. May I offer my warmest wishes to all of you gathered at the Royal Albert Hall, to those who have joined together to make this Schools Prom possible, and to the talented young musicians and singers who are going to perform. John Patten Secretary of State for Education I am grateful to Music for Youth for providing me with this opportunity to express my deepest sympathy to the pupils and teachers of Hagley RC High School and to the families and friends of the twelve pupils and their dedicated teacher who so tragically died while returning from the final evening of the 1993 Schools Prom. Peter Brooke Secretary of State for National Heritage Every year the Royal Albert Hall ho~t~ a multitude of events reflecting the cultural heart of the nation. Some of the~e eH?nt~ retlect the pure joy of music and perfl)rmance. l)thers are of a more sombre na tu re. Tonight's concert C()rT\t.' . .

Personalities Bob Holness, Presenter. Bob's career has spanned virtually every aspect of broadcasting in both radio and te1evision, since he uttered his first tentative line as a radio actor in 1955. To television viewers he is, without doubt, best known as the host of CentraJ Television's runaway success, 'Blockb usters', which has just started its eleventh series. Music is one of Bob' abiding interests and his one big regret is that he never got around to learning to .play. "The ne~!est I e,ver get to perfOrmmg , he says, is sharmg the stage at the SChools Proms with all those wildly enthusiastic and hugely ta1en ted young players." It' the most atisfvi ng part of my year.

Kenny Baker is renowned as one of the finest trumpet players to emerge from the British Jazz scene. His introduction to music started when he joined a local brass band on cornet. In 1939 he left his Yorkshire home to try his luck in London. He has recent L.P's issued with the 'Best of British Jazz' - they include musicians such as Jack Pamell and Don Lusher. He has had the 1957 recording of the 'Dozen' recent!.y re-issued on the 'Dormou se Label'. This company is also putting out the tracks from 'The Biederbecke Affair', plus the early recording of the 1956 'Bakers Half Dozen'.

Antony Hopkins CBE, Gue~t Conduct,'r and Presenter, has been a~~l'ciakd \"ith the Schools Prom from tht' iir"t and ha~ conducted the finel!e at e\ er\' l'fit' .

Nicola Loud started playing the violin at the age of 4. A former pupil of Sheila Nelson, she now studies with Gyorgy Pauk at the Royal Academy of Music, having been awarded an Associated Board Schola'rship. She has won numerous prizes in festivals and competitions, including the title BBC Young Musician of the Year 1990.

Richard Stilgoe, Presenter, got into show business via St. Agnes Church Choir in Liverpool, The Cavern Club and The Cambriage Footlights. Cats, Starlight Express and The Phantom of the Opera (all of which contain his words to a greater or lesser degree) continue to play fhroughout the world. All this has enablea him to take time off to write two new work for children - a musical, Brilliant the Dinosaur, given in Chichester Cathedral in July 1992, and a concert p iece, The Big Bang, performed by over eighty ch o irs in a Id of Voices for Hospices.

Sian Edwards became Music Director of English National Opera in August 1993. After graduation from the Royal Northern College of Music she studi ed with Sir Charles Groves, Norman Del Mar and Neeme Jarvi. From 1983 to 1985 she was a student of Professor A I Musin at the Leningrad Conservatoire and it was during this time, in May 1984, that she won the first Leeds Conductors' Competition. Since return ing to Bri tain in 1985 Sian Edwards has developed her symphonic and operatic repertoire. She has worked with many of this country' s leading orchestras. She made her eperatic debut in 1986 and in 1988 she conducted a new production of Tippett's The Knot Garden at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, after which she was contracted to be regularly associated with Co vent Garden for three years.

Larry Westland CBE, Founder and Executive Director of Music for Youth, ha s directed and produced the Schools Prom since its inception in 1975. He is well known and re pected for his work in y'outh mu ic, principally as Director of the NationaJ Festival of Music for Youth, which he co-founded in 1970.

HAMPSHIRE COUNTY YOUTH ORCHESTRA and SOUTHAMPTON YOUTH ORCHESTRA Conductor: Sian Edwards Directors: Edgar Holmes and Keith Smith Age range of performers: 11-19 years Festival Overture Op. 96 Shostakovich Pomp and Circumstance March No 1: 'Land of Hope and Glory' Edward EIgar The orchestra p'erforming the final item of this evening's concert combines members of Hampshire Couno/ Youth Orchestra and Southampton Youth Orchestra. Both orchestras performed independently in the Schools Prom in . ovember 1993, The orchestras are senior ensembles organised under the aegis of The Hampsfiire Foundation for Young Musicians. Festival Overture Op. 96 D111itri Shostakovich The joyful Festival Overture was composed in 1954. It opens with a fanfare of trumpets and horns which rapidly builds in intenSity and leads to the ~parl<ling Presto. Here the main. scalic theme 15 Rresented by the cJarmets before being taken up by the full orc~estr? An exciting rhythmiC motive links to the lyncaJ econd subject, and this rhythmic vitality pervades the whole central development section. After a full recapitulation, the opening fanfares return with extra impetti ~ before the triumphant conclUSIOn. Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1: 'Land of Hope and Glory' Edward EIgar The Pomp and Circumstance Marches are a series oHive military marches in symp'honic form . The firSt march is now best known because of its link with the words, 'Land of Hope and Glory'. This link came about when Elgar used A C Ben on's words with his music in his 'Coronation Ode', for the COIonation of Edward VII in 1902. A hybrid it may be, but it never fails to stir fue patriotic fervour associated with it. ' ,
