Over the last few weekends a number of our music students have taken part in the Harrogate Festival. They all performed extremely well in front of the audience and adjudicators.

The pianists were:

India Lawrance

Harriet Pettifer

Daisy Hynd

Matilda Ruddy

They all played both solos and duets.

The singers were:

India Lawrance

Alannah Creed

Poppy Allister

Sarah Sullivan

Francesca Banks

The children gained a lot of confidence by participating in the festival and all received certificates with Merits, Commendations and Distinctions.

A special mention must go to Alannah who came 3rd in the Solo Singing Boys and Girls Year 6 class; and to Sarah who came 3rd in the Solo Singing Boys and Girls Year 7 class and 2nd in the Solo from a show, film or musical by Sherman and Sherman or Strouse and Charnin for Year 7 class.

Poppy came 1st in a large class of Year 5 children singing any song by Jenkyns and winning the Sands Gold Medal. Francesca was the winner (with Distinction) of the Vocal Duet, Year 9 and under class.

Congratulations to all!
