Musical spectacular Our children from PP2 to 1st Form visited G Live in Guildford to hear the Southern Pro Musica orchestra. The children were captivated by the range of instruments. Freddie liked 'the one that looked like a missile launcher' - the bassoon! Ethan had the opportunity to play with the percussion section on stage as we clapped along to The Radetsky March. Other pieces in the programme included the fanfare from 'Also Sprach Zarathustra', a piece which gave each section of the orchestra a moment to show off; William Godfree's musical version of Roald Dahl's Aladdin with some very cheeky moments; three pieces from The Carnival of the Animals and the well known Clog Dance. The concert came to an end with the entire audience singing Jonathan Willcox's special arrangement of Old MacDonald. Our boys and girls sang with genuine gusto! February 2013
