Music in Performance Learning an instrument is one thing, putting in the hours of practice is another. Playing and preparing with fellow players gets us ready to present the music. But nothing can prepare you for the rush of excitement when the lights dim and an audience waits expectantly. This year has seen numerous live concerts, from the Primaries demonstrating their adeptness for rhythm and song through the Year 7 programme, which tracks their progress as fledgling players through to the Concert and Stage Bands, the Brass Ensemble, and String and Guitar Ensembles which continued to delight audiences in 2011. We thank Cindy Frost and her dedicated team of teaching staff for preparing (and playing alongside) the boys.
