Musical Notes

Lindfield Concert

177 boys performed on stage at least twice on Tuesday 2 June. Some boys performed in up to 7 items. All of the boys worked extremely hard in preparing for the concert – songs were learnt by heart and instruments were played regularly at home. It was also lots of fun putting the whole school item together. Having a mixed ensemble, making it more like an orchestra, was a new experience for many of the boys. 

Music Weekend

On the weekend of 23 and 24 May, boys who play or sing in a school ensemble attended a music weekend. It was a combined school activity with boys from Wyvern House. On the Saturday afternoon, all those who sing in the school choir came and sang in the school chapel, learning the songs that they will be singing at Founders Concert. The combined choirs of Wyvern and Lindfield will be performing at Founders Concert in Week 2 of Term 3. 

The Sunday was for instrumentalists – string ensemble and band boys came for the day. There were tutorials with specialist teachers on the various instruments and big ensemble rehearsals. Lots of music was covered and learnt during the 5 hours of playing. Everyone improved.
