More than 70 musicians welcomed from seven local schools for Orchestral Day

5 March 2026

Earlier this week, we were delighted to welcome over 70 musicians from seven local schools for our Orchestral Day.

On Tuesday 4 March, children from Castle Court, Chafyn Grove, Hanford, Leweston, St Mary’s Middle, Sunninghill and Bryanston Prep joined us for a busy and exciting day, led by Dave Andrews.

Section rehearsals were organised and delivered by Bryanston music staff, and the day culminated in a concert for parents in the Elder Concert Hall.

The orchestra performed a medley of film music ’A Trip to the Movies’ and the strings played a Latin piece ‘Huapango’. Woodwind, brass and percussion performed ’The Sword of Lancelot’. It was a wonderful day of music making, topped off with Bryanston pupils Oliver S and Ella A performing solos (accompanied by Graham Scott).
