Head's Newsletter 11 November 2016

“It was a very enjoyable show, and I thought all the forms were very good. Standing at the front, I could see the vast crowds and I’m sure my fellow students agree when I say I had butterflies in my stomach. But the whole class stuck with it and what do you know, my form came out tops, and we got the trophy! I would love to do it again, and I think that some of the kids in my form are very talented. Thank you Music Department for allowing Year 7 to have the Inter Form Competition!!!’” Nathan Bruins 7RG

Year 7 Inter Form Choir Competition

On October 20 th Year 7 parents experienced the first taste of their son’s music education at Tiffin School. All 6 forms performed a piece they had been preparing with their class music teacher together with selected solo items. The competition was adjudicated by Martyn Ford, Head of Performing Arts at Lambrook School in Berkshire and a former student of Tiffin School, who entertained the audience with his constructive feedback. Form 7RG, directed by Sian Cadogan, were judged the worthy winners, with Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (Ron Goodwin).

‘ Those magnificent men in their flying machines, they go up tiddly up up, they go down tiddly down down.’

“The night was tense, everybody wanted to win. Some forms were fabulous, the soloists showed loads of bravery to go up there and perform and represent their form. In the end, I think it was down to who wanted it more, and we just wanted to win. We sung our hearts and souls out and I am extremely happy that we won!” Shashank Iyer 7RG
