In March this year the music department was hive of activity as we were preparing for our local music festival. We had a vast number of pupils entered in many different classes including solos, ensembles, orchestra and choir. We had a very successful week of competing and brought home 8 trophies. The adjudicator was very impressed with the variety music performed and number of pupils who entered. He wrote many encouraging comments about out performances but also areas for improvement. We would like to say congratulations to all the pupils who took part in the festival. Regardless of where you were placed everyone performed well and we are all very proud of your achievements. We would also like to thank the organising committee of the festival for their hard work throughout the week and the cups of tea that kept us teachers going. Below is a list of the results.
