Richard, a year 8 student, was in the audience. Here he describes the first half of one of the concerts:
"The "A" group platform concert opened with a piece called "Rock Around The clock", performed beautifully by 7y3. Although they were short on numbers it carried really well. After that there were two short solos, one by Ben Lane on special computer software, the other by Michael Jones on the drums, then it was "Killing Me Softly" to finish.
Then it was over to 7y4 who opened with "Ob La Di", then it was the turn of Ruben who performed "Amazing Grace". Abby performed "Hero", Geni performed "Golden Goose" on the saxophone then to finish off the solos a small group performed "Bleeding Love", originally by Leona Lewis. The whole class performed "Sailing" and that was all of the first half..."
The Music College's Platform Concerts are very popular with students and parents. They are marvellous opportunities for students to gain confidence in their performance skills, and of course to show off their newly-acquired musical skills.
Well done, Year 7!
