On Friday night 10 August, the Tintern Grammar music community came to school for our Annual Music Concert. The evening was highly anticipated, and there were performances from many ensembles – including all secondary school choirs, the bands, and various orchestras.

Highlights of the concert were Rubber Duckie, a Sesame Street favourite, performed delightfully by the combined boys choirs with their voices, rubber ducks and kazoos and the Senior Girls Chamber Choir, with ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’, a jazzy call-back to Tintern’s Jazz Night held earlier in the year. Additionally, the combined Concert Band and Wind Symphony came together to perform ‘Terracotta Warriors’, a magical piece played superbly.

The evening was completed with the massed finale item, a Sister Act 2 medley which showcased a range of talented vocal soloists. The medley was conducted by Mrs Bezaire and accompanied by a band formed especially for the finale, which was led by Mrs Clarke.

The Annual Music concert was a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their talent and commitment to music throughout the year, and was an enjoyable evening for all. In October, the whole school will perform the medley again at Tintern’s Celebration Evening – concluding the year most joyfully.
