BHSG at MK
Last year the Orchestra, Highstyle and Chapel Choir successfully auditioned for the first Milton Keynes Schools' Prom, and this long-awaited event was held last week at the imposing venue of the MK Theatre.
Nine schools were involved and this concert (which was non-competitive) proved to have a real festival atmosphere. Introduced and compered by the conductor and broadcaster Hilary Davan Wetton, a wide range of musical performances was given. Other schools contributing included Queenswood, Tring Park and Sir Henry Floyd, Aylesbury.
BHSG was chosen to close the first half and our three groups demonstrated the breadth of musical activity in the Music Department.
Orchestra gave a fine and vigorous performance of the first movement of Mozart's G minor Symphony (no 40). Chapel Choir, with their distinctive pure sound, sang three items, including a setting of Bunyan's Pilgrim Song and Highstyle showed their flair and polish in Like a Star and If I ain't got you.
Our contribution to the evening was significant and the audience was impressed by the quality of performance and the very high level of accomplishment which our students achieve. The occasion was most memorable and the experience will be long-remembered.
