This week saw rehearsals starting for our many and varied ensembles.

Bright and early on Tuesday morning the Staff Singers met in the Richards Hall for the first time in 18 months and although socially distanced, sang with delight.

At lunchtime the Hardcastle Hall came alive to the sounds of the Concert Band with their renditions of classic favourites such as Glenn Miller’s Moonlight Serenade to more contemporary pieces like Senorita which topped the charts in 2019.

After school The Abbey Symphony Orchestra dazzled with their lively and exuberant playing of Strauss’ Radetzky March.
