May and was a wonderfully varied celebration of music making at Cranleigh Prep School. The afternoon began with an exciting entrance from the Upper School Percussionists playing \u2018Zombie Squirrels\u2019 by Byars. Our Lower School Percussionists followed later in the programme and treated the audience to a fun rendition of The Lion King\u2019s \u2018Hakuna Matata\u2019 with special guests: Mr Royall, Mr Waller and Mr Eaglestone on Trombone.<\/p>\n\n
The string department was well represented with the String Orchestra performing the rousing \u2018British Grenadiers\u2019 followed by the Lower School Orchestra with \u2018Celtic Dream\u2019 and \u2018Sweet Molly Malone\u2019 accompanied by the Lower School Choir. Our more experienced musicians played in smaller ensembles including the Recorder Group, Wind Quartet and the Brass Group. The wind players were also flourishing with the Training Band playing a fun version of \u2018Greased Lightning\u2019 and the Concert Band performing the challenging title music to the film \u2018The Incredibles\u2019.<\/p>\n\n
The Form 6 Band is always a highlight of the concert and a popular number with the audience. This year Maisie R, Lily H, Sam S and Charlie P performed an exceptional cover of \u2018Demons\u2019 by Imagine Dragons. The most pleasing aspect of this group is the amount of independent work put in by the pupils to achieve such a polished performance.<\/p>\n\n
Choral music at school continues to shine. The Chapel Choir sang a moving rendition of \u2018Run\u2019 by Snow Patrol, and the Lower School Choir were a real highlight, particularly with their energetic song \u2018The Power in Me\u2019. The Chamber Choir ended the concert with their slick and professional performance of \u2018Cabaret\u2019 and \u2018We Are the Young\u2019.<\/p>\n\n
The whole afternoon had a happy and relaxed feel and Mrs Williams would like to thank all of the performers for their hard work in preparing for such a lovely concert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
