This years Summer Concert will be in the afternoon of Saturday July 14th.
This is Bastille Day, so maybe the design for the Programme cover can have a French theme this year.
Child and adult pupils are welcome to design a cover for the concert programme and I copy a few of all of them for the day. Past themes have been somewhat random, including Star Wars, The Wombles, the Tour de France, the 2012 Olympics etc
We have had two trips to local care homes this spring, one in March and one in late April. On the appointed Saturday afternoons, children accompanied by parents came to play in mini concerts, we were welcomed at both Homes with open arms.
The pupils played favourite tunes such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Bach’s Prelude in C and the Match of the Day theme tune. The latter was played at least 3 times on the request of one lovely resident who was a football enthusiast. Residents often sang or hummed along when the tune was recognisable.
The concerts were rounded off beautifully with drinks and goodies. It was lovely to see children amongst the residents and a big thank you to children and parents alike. Big thanks also to the Homes and the very helpful professionals who welcomed us so enthusiastically.
It would be lovely to organise more of these rewarding concerts next year.
