It has been such a thrill this term for the SVPS Orchestra to reconvene at last. Around 20 of our woodwind, brass and string players have enjoyed taking on the challenge of playing as part of a larger ensemble and have been both surprised and delighted at what they have already managed to achieve after just three rehearsals!

They have been getting their teeth into a variety of repertoire, from traditional tunes to upbeat dance numbers, and although there is plenty of work to be done, they are already eagerly anticipating their first performance. As the term progresses, we also look forward to strengthening our numbers with more pupils joining us just, as soon as their teachers feel they are ready to do so – come, join the band!
