Labyrinth (1986)

26/3/2013

0 Comments

 
As an end of term treat in music this week, and an example of the use of music in film to build suspense and compliment story-telling the children are watching 'Labyrinth'. It is a wonderful example of character development, story structure and musical styles.
15-year-old Sarah accidentally wishes her baby half-brother, Toby, away to the Goblin King Jareth who will keep Toby if Sarah does not complete his Labyrinth in 13 hours

Battle of the Bands Finalists

9/3/2013

Thank you very much to the 33 bands that auditioned last week. Most of the bands that didn't make it through to Thursday's final required more rehearsal. Some of the original songs that had been written by the children have great potential and lovely lyrics. The key to a good performance at audition is practise and lots of it. 

Congratulations to the top 12 bands who will battle it out in the final on Thursday 14th March 3.30 - 5.00:

FORMIDABLES, GALAXIA, THE FIDDLES, UNTITLED, CHECKPOINT, REPLAY, THREE LITTLE BIRDS, TEEN LIGHTENING, LITTLE PAPER PLANE, LETHAL, STORM BREAKERS & JIGSAW.
