Summer Concert

Last night we had the Summer Concert, a fantastic evening with a real mix of musical styles and instruments. Chris Baker sang and played in the Chamber choir, Samba band, Senior Orchestra and combined Orchestra, again proving what a talented musician and singer he is. Eleanor Waite provided excellent accompaniment on piano in the Motown Bands rendition of ‘You can get it if you really want’. Lucy Collings produced an assured and faultless performance of Demons by the Imagine Dragons that had a well deserved cheer and huge round of applause form the crowd, a lovely voice which she also show cased with the Chamber Choir. Mr Brownley provided the Everett tutor contribution performing a Queen classic with the Staff choir.  Darien Patel showed his percussion talents with the Samba band. However the most contributions came from Josh Hirst who blew, drummed and sang his way through the evening in just about every performance – Saxophone group, Chamber choir, Barbershop boys, Funk band, Samba band, Clarinet quartet, backing the Saxophone, and both Senior and combined Orchestra. Well done Josh.
