On Saturday, 24^th April the Junior Choir took part in a very special concert at Cheltenham Town Hall . The Cheltenham Choral Society, the Tewkesbury Town Band, four very talented soloists, the Leckhampton Choir, the Charlton Kings Junior School Choir and the Beauregard Youth Choir all came together to present  a very varied selection of music, culminating in a premiere performance of Ian Higginson’s ‘Shades of Jazz’, a piece sung in Latin. It was amazing to see how the different ensembles worked together to create the performance, and a very exciting experience for the children to take part in a premiere at the Town Hall. The children all sang beautifully. Many thanks to Miss Hartley for working with the choir, who had been rehearsing for months, and to all the helpers.

Many of the children took part in the Festival of Performing Arts, in the choirs, the recorder ensembles and in numerous poetry and prose reading classes, as well as many individual music and dance entries. All the children had worked very hard to prepare their entries and many medals were won.  Thanks are due to the teachers and staff who help the children at school and to all the parents who support their hard work.

We are just preparing for all the exciting activities and events of the summer, now the Year 6 SATs are safely out of the way.
