Huge congratulations to everyone involved in today's performances in the Pavilion Gardens. Bannockburn Primary School - you were amazing today. Thank you very much for joining us and sharing an important story and beautiful music. Thanks to the staff and parent volunteers from both schools. Thanks also to the organisers of the Dr Blighty festival. The atmosphere was wonderful today and the sun was certainly shining in approval!

Mrs Kaiser is also a member of the choir but was unable to attend these concerts. The sold out audiences were on their feet and singing and dancing and clapping .and feeling good!

​Below is a video clip of Miss Rusbatch singing with Lou (another choir member) - 'Walk With Me' with accompaniment from the choir:

Molly and Kate

Yesterday, after school, Molly and Kate (in 4K) went busking in Preston Park. They chose to sing the Year 4 Children's Parade song for this year's Brighton Festival. Not only did that mean they got lots of extra practise, they also managed to raise £11.50. They have very kindly decided to donate the money to the school's music department.

THANK YOU MOLLY & KATE
