欧美自拍's has hosted a wealth of informal lunchtime and evening concerts this term and the whole school community is looking forward to the two Services in Preparation for Christmas at 欧美自拍's College Chapel this week. In the week prior to these Services talented musicians across Senior House performed this year's Piazza Brass concert. Our musicians and music teachers alike donned festive jumpers, hats and sparkling tinsel to create a festive atmosphere with some even draping the instruments themselves.
After Wind Band had performed their pieces, Big Band added to the festive spirit by performing Home Alone by John Williams arr. Leslie Briccuse and All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey (arr. Michael Brown). Rednotes ensemble performed Night by Night by Steely Dan (arr, Ollie Lepage-Dean) and Zara Larsson's Lush Life (arr. Ollie Lepage-Dean). Two Form 6 vocalists performed during these songs and delighted the audience with their duet: Love is an Open Door by Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez.
"The children were absolutely brilliant at listening to one another. It is sometimes tricky when there is no bass players involved in a band, but they kept the tempo going really well. It is the first time that the children played with a drum machine."
"I performed in Wind Band and it went really well with the audience smiling throughout! It was also great to watch the other pieces too as we hadn't heard them until the actual concert. I think everyone went away feeling in a Christmas mood."
