Our Ukulele Ensemble and Salsa Band both performed at the Norfolk County Music Festival last Friday with excellent results. Our Ukulele Ensemble were given the highest marking of ‘Outstanding’ for what the judge called “an exceptional performance, both artistically and technically.” The confidence of this group comprised of 41 children from Years 4 to 6 grew as the performance went on and the last song, ‘Green, Green Grass’ by George Ezra, was described as having “fantastic confidence and strength of rhythmic playing, particularly on the stops. Love expressive singing. Nice keyboards too.”
Our Salsa Band received ‘Highly commended +’ for “a generally correct and creditable performance with greater evidence of artistic interpretation.” Children also had to persevere through some technical hitches. We are very proud of all the children who took part, for the dedication to practice and their performances on the day. A big thank you goes to Mr Leaver, Mr Bell and Mr Weitz for their support and time in getting the children ready for the performances.
