Reach for the stars

The last day of the Spring Term is always an exciting one at Pipers. It is the day that all Houses come together to perform at the Inter-House Music Competition. This year’s theme was “Inspiration” with each House performing different styles of music which they found inspirational - whether it be the lyrics, the artist or the fact that the particular piece meant something to the performer.

First up was Penn House whose performances included a fantastic rocking version of “Don’t Stop Believing” performed with piano, drums and electric guitar, an emotional solo of “Fix You” by Coldplay and also the Sixth Formers performing on the drums, tambourine and guitar.

Then it was the turn of Hampden House, starting with a great performance by the Prep girls of “Walking on Sunshine”. Other performances included a guitar and vocal performance of “Royal” by Lorde and Year 10 and 11 singing “Here comes the sun”.

Mandeville were next with a slightly different take on compering with their speakers creating an awards show. Their acts included some very energetic Prep girls singing “Happy” and two duets of “Let it go” from Disney’s “Frozen” and “Titanium”.

Last but not least was Milton House. They took the audience on an “Inspiration through the decades” journey, which included the Sixth Form singing “Imagine” with sign language, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” performed on the flute and the whole House singing “Roar” by Katy Perry.

In addition to their group performances each House also performed their version of “Reach for the Stars” by SClub7 with their own unique style and energy.

At the end of the contest Penn House were crowned as this year’s winners., having impressed the judges with their diverse choice of music and performance styles, great enthusiasm and imaginative take on the theme.

Mrs Moss, Director of Music, said “This year each House was out to impress and they did. It was wonderful to see the girls’ enjoyment and dedication to Music that really came through in their performances Well done to all girls who took part.”
