Summer concerts


On Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd May, we held our annual school summer concerts during which our fantastic musicians performed for their families. 
On Monday, Infant Choir and Junior choir sang a variety of different songs, and our recorder group and our guitarists performed to an enthusiastic audience. 
On Tuesday, our Orchestra, String sextet and brass band all played as well as our violin, viola and cello players who performed solos and in small groups. Our brass solos and groups were performed by cornets, trumpets, french horns and our solo trombonist and solo euphonium player. We also enjoyed lively performances from our dhol druming groups.
Both evenings were a real treat for both audiences and the children performed to a high standard, showing the progress they had all made this year. 
Thank you to all our families who have supported the children in their practice all year.
A big thank you to our dedicated peripatetic music teachers-Miss Hobbs, Mr Fisher, Mr Chamberlain, Mr Singh and Mrs Mulenga who inspire us all each week.

Chilcote String Group at the Music Service Chamber concert

On the evening of Wednesday 14th February, Chilcote String group (formerly quartet -which has grown to 6 members) took part in a Music Service Chamber concert  at the Ladywood Arc.
They listened to a variety of other groups from other Birmingham schools first, then performed 2 pieces, accompanied by Miss Hobbs- our strings teacher.
They all performed confidently and at a very high standard and we were very proud of them all.
Thank you to you all for all your hard work, you have given up a lot of lunchtimes to practise and worked well as a team, thank you very much also to Miss Hobbs for all her enthusiasm and support in helping you all to progress so well.
Thank you also to all your parents who have supported your practice and brought you to the concert- in very heavy traffic.
