Beaumont School Music Department

Congratulations on a simply wonderful and heartwarming Summer Concert on Wednesday.  It was an absolute pleasure to spend time rehearsing with you all during the day (the lack of huge problems/stresses was a bit unnerving, we have to admit!) and once again, the concert did not just show your musical skills and talents, but your commitment and passion for all the music you performed.  Thank you for all your work this year - it's been an incredibly busy one but we finished it in style. 131 students took part in the concert (bear in mind that about 5 or 6 students were in Rosas) and everybody performed in the finale of Gary Barlow's and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jubilee song , Sing .  At the time, it was tempting to do an encore (there were a number of people calling for one!) but I think the impact may have been lost if we had repeated it.  So below is our one and only performance of Sing .  Verse 1: Year 7 Girls, followed by Years 10 &...
