November’s Autumn concert truly was a celebration of all the fantastic music making that happens at TBGS. It was a great relief to put on our first concert in two years and the students really made the most of the opportunity.
The evening saw an eclectic mix of musical styles from students from every year group in the school, from the dramatic opening of the Drumming Group to the refined classicism of the Flute Choir. Other highlights included energetic sets from the Year 11 and Jazz Bands and a debut performance by the Year 8 band.
Of particular note this year was the number of self-composed performances from the likes of Oscar Garbett, Tom Grogan and Zen Fyre Collective.
The evening ended with all of the instrumentalists coming together for a powerful performance of Prince’s “Purple Rain,” sung soulfully by Daisy Haslam-Ivens.
An evening of superb entertainment was dedicated to Sue Durant, until recently our brass teacher, who sadly passed away recently.
