BCS Music Festival Finalists

The Music Festival is always a highlight of the Blue Coat calendar and this year’s Festival has been no exception. Despite the challenges of the National Lockdown, our young musicians have risen to the occasion and produced music of a very high calibre indeed.

Although we were unable to run the Festival in its entirety, both Mrs Creaton and I have been delighted by the incredibly high standards of performance we have seen and heard; selecting the class winners was extremely challenging but a very enjoyable experience. Sadly, we will not be selecting one overall BCS Young Musician of the Year.

This year’s winners are all worthy, but so too those pupils who have been awarded Highly Commended certificates. Moreover, the number of children who chose to take part this year was as high as any other. The Festival celebrates and encourages all children in their endeavour to master their chosen instrument whether they are just beginning or are making great strides in their journey.

Thanks to all our Visiting Music Teachers who have prepared the performers to such high standards. We look forward to sharing recordings of our Class Finalists next week.

The Class Winners and Highly-Commended are listed herewith:
