On Thursday 15th September, College was treated to the most amazing spectacle of music making. The annual House Music competition was as exciting as ever, with an incredibly high standard set by every House.
Led by the UC5 (Year 11) year group, pupils chose and arranged their own House song, for the whole House to perform, including some girls playing instruments.
Colourful outfits and big smiles complimented the excellent singing. We were grateful to Mr Dominic Franks, Director of Music at Dean Close School for adjudicating, in a closely fought, but wonderfully supportive and friendly competition.
Prizes were awarded as follows:
Best House Overall (Rose Bowl)
1st - Sidney Lodge
2nd - Glenlee
3rd - Glengar
Best Conductor (Silver Salver)
1st - St Helen's
2nd - St Austin’s
3rd - Glenlee
Best Accompaniment (Hunting Horn)
1st - Sidney Lodge
2nd - St Clare
