Twenty-two performers from Year 5-8 took part and well over forty parents enjoyed dinner whilst listening to their own children perform.  Martin Byatt, a professional guitarist played superb background music and joined in accompanying many of the songs.

The children performed in 3 different sets in-between the courses, and we had music from Flash Bang Wallop to Schubert’s Trout, All is Found from Frozen 2 to a Giga by Seixas and Pretty Polly Oliver to Mercy Mercy.  Bravo! to all the children, but especially to those for whom performing is more than a challenge. Everybody gathered up all their courage, stood in the spotlight and went for it. 

I think that this event shows MHS at its best; a celebration of the individual and support like no other. Listening to all the performers encourage each other and then offer praise afterwards was another highlight. I should also mention Mr Coomber, who only took a little persuasion to sing Figaro’s Largo al Factotum. He had his eye on shaving Mr Sabbage – and so it was….much to the delight of the other parents!

It was a late night but a memorable evening with plenty of special memories made.
