Bowdon Festival

Wednesday morning saw our very excited Infant and Junior Choirs perform at the Altrincham and District Schools’ Music Festival, held at the Bowdon Assembly Rooms. It was the culmination of many weeks of hard work, and what an amazing experience it was for them all! The children were entranced by a variety of vocal performances from local schools, ranging from traditional choral pieces to modern chart hits. All ages and abilities took part, demonstrating that anyone with enthusiasm and commitment can perform.

Our Junior choir, a substantial 45+ children, performed ‘Footprints In the Sand’ followed by extracts from the musical, Matilda. Their performance was excellent with wonderful expression and timing. After setting the bar very high the Infant Choir, made up of 25 Year 2 children, took to the stage. Nerves were put to one side and enthusiasm and excitement took over. The choir performed ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles, followed by a Wizard of Oz medley. Clearly enjoying themselves, the children sang beautifully and showcased the huge talent that we have within our school. Both choirs received a glowing report from the adjudicator, Mrs Wright. All the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Highlights (as commented on by the children) were seeing the Mayor and of course, travelling on a double decker bus!

A huge thank you to Mrs Crook, Miss Hobday, Mrs Mackenzie and Mrs Lindsay, and all of the parents and grandparents who came along to support us, children and staff involved. It was very much appreciated.
