ºìÐÓÊÓƵ

Huge congratulations to all the150 pupils who participated in the four ºìÐÓÊÓƵ choirs in the Reigate and Redhill Music Festival this week. The ºìÐÓÊÓƵ House Choir (Year 2), Junior Choir (Years 3 & 4), Senior Choir (Years 5-8) all won Cups and Honours Performance Certificates for coming first and the Chamber Choir received a Honour Performance Certificate.

Each choir performed two contrasting pieces in competition against other schools. The adjudicator, Ben Costell, described singing as "vibrant and dramatic", "sensitively handled" and "energetic".

We have also just learnt that Ben Costello was so impressed with all of our choirs’ terrific entries that ºìÐÓÊÓƵ was awarded the Music Trust Cup. Well done everyone!

The Hawthorn House Choir sang punchy lyrics with warmth and expression. 

59 members of the Junior Choir filled the stage. The adjudicator said he was impressed with the children’s legato musical line and really enjoyed the energetic space journey of the second song. 

The adjudicator said that the Senior Choir's two pieces were sensitively handled and the second song was vibrant and dramatic.

The adjudicator was very impressed with the lovely sound, warm tone and projection that the Chamber Choir produced.
