It was the last day of the term at Music School today and this morning was the end of term concert.
There were a couple of alterations to the programme, the first of which was the location. Normally the concert takes place at Manshead Upper School, where the classes take place. However, the school hall has been set out for mock exams starting on Monday, so it wasn’t available. Manshead shares the same campus with a middle and lower school, so the concert moved to Streetfield Middle School.
My daughter has been going to the early years and again we opened the concert. She wasn’t nervous at all this time.

Edited: 10th December. It turns out the mock exams had nothing to do with the concert being moved. It seems that there was an error, and the school was just not booked for the day.
