A fantastic Open Mic Night featuring band and solo performances!

Congratulations to all the fabulous musicians who performed brilliantly!

What an exceptional evening of music and memories with the Simon Balle Community!

Students across Big Band II and The Simon Balle Big Band performed to such a high standard of music - it was utterly fabulous.

You don't get this anywhere else!

Congratulations to all performers and thank you to all of the families that came along to support!

Equipment failure meant that some of the Big band evening was not recorded, but the pictures will be available next week. (off to purchase new equipment......).

A Night at the Proms! Wow - what a fantastic evening!

The standard of music-making was remarkable from start to finish. There has clearly been so much work and rehearsal time put into tonight, and the result was a performance of real quality and ambition.

Some of those pieces were really challenging, yet everyone approached them with confidence. It was really impressive to hear how well it all came together.

But what actually struck me the most, even more than the incredibly high technical standard, was the sheer enjoyment visible on every face on stage. Their smiles lit up the hall tonight. Our students clearly relish the opportunity to perform, and there was a real sense of pride at being up there. They so obviously love creating music together and that, as we all know, is at the very heart of what music education is all about.

 

What a fantastic evening of Brass! 

Well done to all the Simon Balle and Mill Mead students who have put in so much work to creating fabulous music! A special shout out to the soloists of the evening, Poppy, May and Lincoln!

Thank you to Mr D Taylor and Mr Peach for the bespoke arrangements and the work to get the students to this standard, it is truly incredible!

A fantastic Vocal recital featuring a handful of Ms Kemp's singers!

Congratulations to all of the performers at this evening's recital. Performing can be a nerve wracking experience, but all students - those experienced or new - stepped up to the challenge of this.

Well done to all! Please ensure the videos here:

It was amazing for our Secondary community to come together for the annual Carol Services.

Students from across the Primary phase that were truly exceptional and perfectly encapsulated the joy and happiness this time of year should bring.

I was so impressed by the standard of the musical performances, and particularly by the collaboration between some of our oldest and youngest students. Having our experienced sixth formers alongside the younger musicians, guiding and encouraging them, was an inspiring example for all involved.

A wonderful, uplifting way to begin the road into Christmas.
