Despite the best efforts of the weather to derail our Christmas Concert, the show must definitely went on! This was the musical highlight of thet term and congratulations go to ALL our performers, from Year 3 to Top Form who entertained us on brass, string, woodwind and percussion instruments. For some it was the very first time to perform in front of an audience, so special well done to them.
