Students showcase their musical talents at concert
UFFCULME School capped off a successful spring term with a vibrant performance showcasing the talents of its music programme.
The Spring Concert featured nearly 100 pupils from across various disciplines – from vocalists and choirs to string and brass ensembles.
“This concert was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate everything our students have been working on in their music classes,” said Emma Croft, head of performing arts at the school.
“Following the grand production of Beauty and the Beast, we wanted to offer another highlight to end the term on a high note.
“It was truly a night to remember, with an incredible turnout and an energetic performance.”
The diverse programme kept the audience on their feet, culminating in a rousing rendition of YMCA that brought together performers and attendees in a spirit of unity.
“It was a heartwarming moment to see everyone, both past and present Uffculme students, join in for a closing singalong,” Ms Croft added. “This concert truly embodied the spirit of our school community.”
Music teacher Jo Lihou echoed Ms Croft’s sentiment, praising the pupils’ dedication.
“We have a group of incredibly talented young musicians,” she said. “My role is simply to help them build their confidence and shine on stage.
“Tonight’s performance primarily featured their coursework, and the year 11 students put in a tremendous effort to ensure a flawless execution of some complex pieces.
“And the celebration doesn’t end here. The performing arts department is gearing up for the next major event – the Uff-fest, scheduled for Wednesday, July 10.
“This summer festival promises to be a grand finale to a year filled with exceptional performances by Uffculme School’s talented students.”
