We have had a wonderful December in the music department.
On November 4th, the Music Department took 44 Year 8 - 10 students to see a performance of Hercules at the Theatre Royal in London’s West End.
I had a great time at the National Children's Orchestra and I feel very lucky that I was accepted as their audition process is highly selective.
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.
Last week, over 70 students came together to present our annual school musical, this year being Disney’s 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame’.

On Tuesday 25th March we held our BGS Spring Concert.
On Saturday 15th March, out of 40 applicants, 8 musicians performed in the final for the Bexley Young Musician 2025.


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!

Our first group of Year 7s have just finished their 10-week taster course on the clarinet with Mr Cooper and have done amazingly well. Congratulations to everyone. Looking forward to seeing how this will now develop in the future. Our next taster clarinet group begins in January 2025.
