It's been a busy few weeks of concerts in JSR. The school built a new organ in the chapel last year and it is finally complete and being played loads. It sounds amazing. It has been set up with a volume perfect for the chapel, and each note is perfectly clear. Even the low notes which are usually lost in a blasty mess are amazingly clear.
This is the staff concert, where each music teacher is given the chance to show off their skills and instrument to win more students. All these pictures as blurry as I really have no idea how to take photos in the dark, but you can still pretty much see what's going on.
Hugh's trombone quartet.
Here is Nicole on clarinet accompanied by Jonathan on piano and Hugh turning pages.
And Jamil, Hugh and Andrew doing some unaccompanied singing.
This is all the staff who performed playing "You've got a friend in me" at the end.
And here is the star instrument of the moment, the beautiful new organ. Jonathan played an opening recital last weekend and it was amazing. He also played Peter and the Wolf with brass quintet yesterday, where Hugh played trombone. It was a really good arrangement. Jonathan was the bird, among many other things, and Hugh was the cat.
