Music Competition 3 On a hot and sunny Friday afternoon, the School gathered for this year’s final of the Inter-House Music Competition and the Inter House Unison Song.


Our adjudicator was Mr Tim Frost, the head of SATIPS Music and Head of Music at Colet Court, the Prep School to St Paul’s School in London.


Hugh McMenamin took the brave role as first to perform in the Junior section on his Saxophone, playing the well known ‘La Donna è Mobile’ by Verdi. He was followed by Jonathan Green who performed ‘Jeepers Creepers’ on the trumpet and Martha Edge with ‘E – B- G- Bees’ on the recorder. The Junior Instrumentalist section was concluded by ‘Saturday Shuffle’ on the piano, performed by Suchir Salhan, who went on to win the Junior Shield.


The Senior section consisted of 5 performers, starting off by Marianne Fitzgibbon who performed ‘Think of Me’ from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera to a very high standard. The baton was passed to Aloysius Lip whose dexterity was put to the test in the first movement Mozart’s ‘Sonata for Piano K545’. Nadia Ismail then performed ‘Frolicsmomeness’ by the German baroque composer, Telemann followed by Tim Van Mourik-Street who played Diabelli’s ‘Ländler’ on the clarinet. This section was brought to a close by Josephine Yeoman playing ‘Fernando’s Theme’ on the guitar. The standard and quality of all of these performances was characteristically high and in the end, Marianne was declared the winner of the Senior shield.


The Inter House Unison Song formed the second part of the afternoon with this year’s theme being Disney Songs. Nowers, under the direction of Mrs V-C, gave a strong lead with ‘You’ve Got A Friend In Me’ from Toy Story, followed hot on the heels by Miss Wilson and Pughe with Song of the South’s ‘Zip-a-dee-doo-dah’. Ridgway, conducted by Miss Cochrane, who exchanged her crutches for a baton, with Shree Jemahl as the warm up act, sang ‘A Whole New World’ from Aladdin. The proceedings were concluded by the reflective ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’ (Pinocchio) by Stork under Miss Kishishian, who were the overall winners of the Honey Shield for Inter House Unison Song 2010.


Many thanks to all of the School, both staff and pupils, for participating in different ways and making the afternoon a superb opportunity to celebrate and enjoy music making at Hallfield.
