We had a fantastic evening yesterday with all the senior musicians who I have been working with at RGS (my school). We got together at lunchtime and spent the afternoon putting together a performance of all our favourite songs, which ranged from songs from shows such as Avenue Q, Rent and West Side Story, and a great selection of classics by Dylan, Stevie Wonder, The Carpenters, my main man Billy Joel and even some Jason Mraz. We then performed them all to a warm and slightly moist audience of about 180 yesterday evening.
I don't think any of these students follow my blog (yet!?) but it was such a lot of fun and such a great opportunity for me to work on a concert with guys who undoubtedly have got such bright musical futures ahead of them. Despite their only being 18 or thereabouts they performed with so much confidence and talent, and whether singers or drummers we had no weak links and no worries about anything not going smoothly. It was a long day, but it was really satisfying.
