Amazing drumming
On Thursday 17th December, we had an amazing concert with the percussion section of the orchestra. The children enjoyed festive tunes as well as some of their favourite pieces played by the county music team. Some lucky children got the chance to play the drums and other instruments, including buckets! Nikita in year six said “I liked when we were singing we will rock you!” his friend Keane added “I liked when they played the drums on buckets”. A really exciting treat for all.
