Despite being in Year 12 at the time, this was my first music tour with the school, and it was an amazing thing to be a part of.

On Tuesday 25th March we held our BGS Spring Concert. 

Wednesday 4th December, saw the annual Christmas Concert by the Music Department after another term packed with weekly rehearsals from all ensembles, culminating in a brilliant display of musical talent. We invited all ensembles to perform, right the way through from our beginner brass group to our more seasoned ensembles, like the Senior Choir, Symphony Orchestra and Improv Group. There was such an array of musicality on stage, and it was clear that all the students thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the night - well done to everyone who performed, and a special thank you to everyone who was involved in the planning and running of the night. Have a listen to a few minutes of highlights here!

Year 8 ~ Gospel Workshop   

In October, in line with Black History Month and their Blues diploma, Year 8 were offered an incredible opportunity to perform with gospel singers and instrumentalists from Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir. Each form had a 50-minute workshop with Clarence, the vocal leader for the day, and was taught one part from an uplifting song. The Senior Choir and members of the ACS were then given an extended workshop in the afternoon and together, with Year 8, a massed performance was put on in assembly the very next day. The sound was incredible and the enthusiasm of some of the students was infectious. 

Congratulations to Senior Choir!    

I just wanted to say a huge congratulation to Senior Choir and Rob Humphries, who did the school proud, performing 6 times over the course of the three open mornings. Well done to all of you, you sounded great!

Year 7 concert   

October 23rd saw the first of the music department concerts, with the whole of Year 7 performing once again as an entire year group. With the usual medleys bookending the concert and some excellent class performances, we were spoilt with such a lovely array of singing, all of which was accompanied by our Year 10 band. In between the performances, we had three brave soloists - Aryan Garg, Isida Manolakou and Imogen Liddington - who each performed beautifully to the 450-strong audience in the room. Well done to everyone involved!

What a show!

Congratulations to all the cast and crew on an amazing 4 nights. The quality of the performances was simply amazing, and we are still receiving compliments from audience members about just how amazing it was.

All the hard work paid off! The Mayor of Bexley who attended the Gala Night performance had nothing but high praise for all involved and the final night was full of heartfelt messages to and from our Year 13 leavers.

Now... what shall we do next year?!
