Over 200 boys from both Lindfield and Wyvern Prep Schools recently gave up their weekend to immerse themselves in Music making at the Senior School. On Saturday afternoon members of the choirs from the respective campuses joined their voices together to prepare 2 items for the Senior School Founders’ Concert in Term 3. They enthusiastically ‘grooved’ their way through ‘Hot Chocolate’ and then soared through the flowing melodies of ‘Sailing Home’ a piece written about Jessica Watson’s famous solo sail around the world at the age of 16.

On Sunday it was on to the instrumental groups with the string, brass, woodwind and percussion boys spending the day preparing items for this week’s showcase. It was an enormous weekend for all involved and I would like to thank the boys for their enthusiastic participation and the staff for their dedication and professionalism in ensuring that it was a productive and enjoyable weekend for all of our musicians.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the parent volunteers, especially Nicole Newson the co-ordinator of the catering, who gave up their time to make sure that the boys were adequately fed. This weekend would not be possible without the support of such volunteers so thank you again.
