As
reported by Samantha Bland, Y13 student, a group of Year 13s in their second
year of studying A Level Access to Music arranged a music performance event at
New Siblands School in Thornbury. A group of our talented Year 12 and 13
musicians were invited to perform some of their best pieces in the New
Siblands’ morning assembly. This musical showcase highlighted the level of
talent evident within the Marlwood Music Faculty and consisted of five
performers, including vocalists and instrumentalists, with the diversity of the
flugelhorn played by Peter Stace. At the end of the showcase, our students handed
out a variety of hand percussion instruments enabling the New Siblands’ children
to contribute to the performance for the last piece. The Marlwood students also
created Award Certificates to hand out to the children, which gave them a sense
of accomplishment and highlighted their overall contribution to this exciting
event.
