What a fantastic day. We were so lucky with the weather, after a lovely, warm, sunny day the rain started very close to the end of the performances at which time, singers, musicians and audience crammed into the marquee to listen to the final songs by ex students of Hurst Lodge who are now at various universities and colleges.
The standard of singing was really good from the children of the Junior school through to the sixth form and older. The musical accompaniment was also very professional and it was hard to believe that they had only a couple of hours in the morning to practice together.
There was food available in the shape of a hog roast and a cake stall although many brought along a picnic and basked in the pleasant sunshine.
There were prizes awarded for the different categories although, in my view, the day was a prime example of "it is not just about winning, it is a home for their passion". The evident confidence of the performers, no matter what age, was incredible and the enjoyment on their face wonderful to see. There are a few more photographs available on the Hurst Lodge Alumni facebook page.
